Answer

Carving is the process of cutting away material from a solid block to reveal the desired form inside. 

This is a subtractive process where material is removed. 

Tools include chisels, gouges, mallets, rasps, and sandpaper for wood; chisels and points for stone; and various cutting tools depending on the material.
