    Spelling Word: the shallow part of a carving

    Discussion in 'Word Mechanics' started by A.M.P., Apr 3, 2020.

    As the title says;

    let's say you carve a piece of wood with a circle design
    What is that shallow part (the part you carved) called?

    I keep thinking blood grooves, but I know that ain't right?
    Funnels? Recess? None of these sound correct and Google isn't helping :(

    A blood groove is what's in certain large knives and swords. I would think if you carve or chisel something like a line it could just be called a groove?

    Rogets lists these as synonyms for groove:

    furrow
    rut
    trench
    channel
    indentation

    Or, if it isn't a circular line but a disc-shape, it could be called a depression or a recessed shape.
