chiselling use to cut, shape, or fashion by or as if by carving with a chisel..while carving is the act of using tools to shape something from a material by scraping away portions of that material. The technique can be applied to any material that is solid enough to hold a form even when pieces have been removed from it, and yet soft enough for portions to be scraped away with available tools. Carving, as a means for making sculpture, is distinct from methods using soft and malleable materials like clay, fruit, and melted glass, which may be shaped into the desired forms while soft and then harden into that form. Carving tends to require much more work than methods using malleable materials..
but there was a wood carving chisel....

Use a paring chisel for fine light woodwork, such as shaving or sculpting.
Secure the woodwork firmly on your workbench or in your vise.
Position the the blade at a slight slant to the line of the wood.
Place one hand on the chisel's blade and press it against the surface of the wood.

It depends on the material that you are about to cut.

Maybe anything that is sharp and hard enough to cut and carve.

denden wrote:when the chisel invented???

Flint ancestors of the present-day chisel existed as far back as 8000 bc; the Egyptians used copper and later bronze chisels to work both wood and soft stone. Chisels today are made of steel, in various sizes and degrees of hardness, depending on use.
