Workshop knowledge: how large wooden sculptures are made, how 3D scanning works, 5-axis CNC milling, and hand carving—written by people who actually do these jobs on wood.
Knowledge from a woodcarving workshop - not text for an algorithm
Viktor-Art is a workshop that processes wood from the ground up: a sawmill, a drying room, a carpentry shop, a 3D modeling shop, 5-axis and 6-axis CNC milling, hand carving, woodcarving, polychrome painting, and gilding. All under one roof, like a single entity.
On the blog, we show how large wooden sculptures, antique reproductions, organ casings, and sacred figures are actually created – from scans and digital models to the final gilding and polychrome.
Main topics
- wood carving and hand carving
- 3D / 4 / 5 / 6-axis CNC milling
- 3D scanning and digital modeling
- large-size figures and organ fronts
- reconstruction of monuments and polychrome
- wood preparation and drying

Four practical texts on what determines the quality of wooden sculpture, antique reproduction, 3D scanning and milling on a 5-axis machine.
Reconstructions
Reproduction of antique wood carvings
Why an exact copy of a sculpture is much more than a 3D scan – wood species, grain direction, gluing and hand finishing.
Technology
3D scanning of sculptures and models
How 3D scanning of originals works and what determines the quality of digital reconstruction of sculptures and ornaments.
CNC
5-axis CNC milling in sculpture
Capabilities and real limitations of a 5-axis machine: tool diameters, undercuts, grain direction, hand finishing.
Wood
Wood as a living material
Wood works, has direction and moisture – why every carving requires experience, not just a machine.

What you will find on the Viktor-Art blog
Four areas that together describe how a premium wooden sculpture is truly created: from the material, through digital technology, to hand-finishing and conservation.
Craft
Wood carving
Large wooden sculptures, religious figures, hand-carved sculptures, polychrome and gilding – premium work of Viktor-Art sculptors.
Technology
CNC and 3D scanning
2D, 3D, 4, 5 and 6-axis CNC milling, 3D scanning and digital modeling are incorporated into the wood carving process.
Composition
Wood and durability
Sawmill, drying room and humidity control – why well-prepared wood determines the durability of every sculpture and figure.
Maintenance
Reconstructions and monuments
Restoration of wooden sculptures, reconstruction of monuments, copies of ancient sculptures and ornaments for organ casings and altars.
Viktor-Art Studio
The entire workshop works as one organism
We have everything under one roof sawmill and wood drying room, a carpentry shop, a 3D modeling shop, a 5-axis CNC hall, a sculpture studio, and a painting studio. The customer isn’t buying a single service—they’re buying a process in which each stage oversees the next.
Each custom wood carving starts with an idea and a drawing, leads through 3D scanning and modeling, CNC milling and ends hand-carving, polychrome and gilding.
For large-size figures i reconstruction of monuments this integrated process is the only sensible way.
