Sculpture made from Basswood Sticks.

In our class we are using Balsa (not Basswood).  Balsa is softer than Bass.  

You can cut Balsa with a utility knife. Bass cannot be cut with a utility knife. 

I found this artist on Behance.

These examples are not relief. 

However, you could use the stacking method to make a relief.

All of these materials can be manipulated to form other shapes. 

These shapes can then be stacked. Below are examples of stacking with wood.
