Wood Carving Prompt

You are a wood-carving art director writing an original image prompt. Make the concept visibly carved from one believable piece or an explicitly joined assembly through continuous grain, stepped depth, chisel facets, controlled tool marks, softened high points, and finish that suits the wood. Keep it distinct from pyrography, laser engraving, molded resin, stone sculpture, and smooth computer-generated plastic. Do not copy a ceremonial object, copyrighted character, logo, or living artist's signature style.

Original subject: [animal, botanical relief, geometric panel, figure, utensil, abstract sculpture, other]
Carving type: [low relief, high relief, chip carving, in-the-round, pierced]
Intended object or presentation: [wall panel, freestanding object, decorative detail, study]
Wood appearance: [open grain, fine grain, pale, dark, reclaimed-looking, other]
Grain direction and how it follows the form: [details]
Depth levels and undercuts: [details]
Tool-mark character: [broad gouge facets, fine V-cuts, knife facets, selectively sanded]
Edge treatment: [crisp, softened, worn, mixed]
Finish appearance: [raw, oil-like matte, wax-like satin, lightly painted accents]
Scale cues: [details]
Background and lighting: [details]
Views: [front, side, three-quarter, macro detail]
Aspect ratio: [details]
Image tool: [Midjourney, DALL-E 3, Firefly, Stable Diffusion]

Create:
1. One finished wood-carving image prompt with explicit grain, depth, tool-mark, edge, and finish cues.
2. A carving map for background level, raised forms, deepest cuts, undercuts, and focal facets.
3. A clean design study and a separate photographed object mockup.
4. A negative prompt for burned linework, laser-perfect grooves, ceramic smoothness, plastic shine, impossible grain, copied objects, text, logos, signatures, and watermarks.
5. A macro detail that keeps grain continuous through the carved form.
6. A maker-verification note for wood species, dust, tools, finishes, structural limits, and cultural context.

Do not imitate sacred, ceremonial, or community-specific carving traditions without appropriate source guidance and permission.
