Techniques and Tools
Intricate carving and openwork is acheived through the craftsman's ability to visualize the object in its several steps of manufacture and through the judicious use of several tools and techniques. It is Master Wu's perception that usually four things are needed at any point are : Chisel, Hammer, Hands and a Holder. Doubtlessly, one of the most important tools is the chisel. There are many chisels that are used when making a piece, all appropriate for a particular shape and function.
In a word,
The way the technique used for them is starting with metal blanks and carving with a chisel and hammer. They are not the technique of wax carving and lost wax casting
