    Wooden carving chops? Do you mean a clamping device for round carvings?
    Holding devices for carvings vary greatly, from as simple as a sandbag to very expensive custom built devices.
    Pls clarify what you are looking for, and/or what you intend to do.
    Cheers
    Peter

    As mentioned, there are numerous solutions for holding most types of carvings and it really depends on what you already have available, or are willing to spend.
    Following links may provide some ideas for your carving.

    The above may give you some ideas, possibly by combining some of the ideas into something that works for you.
    Let us know how you go.
    Cheers
