Set of 12 wood engraving and carving tools
This set includes 12 tools designed for discovering or deepening your woodworking skills: engraving, detailing, light relief, contouring, and creating initial carved textures.
Each shape allows for a different action on the material. Some tips create fine lines, others carve more broadly, clean an area, or allow for gradual relief building.
The wooden handles offer a direct and lightweight grip, suitable for precise movements as well as for learning trials. The compact size allows the tools to be kept together in a workshop space, a sketchbook, or for nomadic practice.
Information
This set allows you to test several tool profiles before choosing the techniques that best suit your practice: tracing, hollowing, clearing, scraping, refining, or texturing.
It is suitable for creators who wish to work with soft wood, explore manual engraving, or begin a handcrafted carving practice without needing multiple separate tools.
The tools can also be used for texture research on certain soft materials, depending on their resistance and preparation.

Use & precautions
Work on a stable surface, with the workpiece firmly held. Proceed slowly, always directing the tool away from the hand holding the material.
Starting on a scrap piece of wood helps to understand the depth of each tool, the resistance of the material, and the necessary pressure before moving on to a final piece.
After use, remove dust, wipe metal parts, and store tools separately to protect the tips.
Wood tone
As wood is a natural material, each handle may show slight variations in tone, grain, or texture.
Some pieces may be lighter, deeper, or slightly marked. These nuances are part of the raw character of the tool and do not alter its use.
🤍 Ikane Workshop Tip
Testing several tool shapes on the same scrap piece of wood helps to understand how each profile transforms the material. A line, a hollow, or a texture does not only come from the tool, but also from the pressure, angle, and rhythm of the gesture.
