A wood carving from a photo turns a favourite memory into a wooden work of art. Many people wonder how it actually works — so this article explains the process step by step, from your photo to the finished 3D relief portrait in solid beech.
What Is a Wood Carving from a Photo
It is a personalized wooden panel that recreates an image from your photo — a face, a couple, a family or a pet. The result is a realistic 3D relief, not a print — a real carving in the wood.
The Process Step by Step
1. You Send a Photo
Choose a clear, well-lit photo. The better the original, the more detailed the final relief.
2. Model Preparation
The photo is processed into a 3D relief model, preserving the features and character of the image.
3. CNC Carving
The model is carved from solid beech on a precise CNC machine — accurate to the smallest detail.
4. Hand Finishing
A craftsman refines the surface by hand and applies finishing oils, giving warmth and a one-of-a-kind look.
5. Optional Painting
We can paint it partially or fully for a stronger visual effect.
