  Mike,
  Not a crazy question at all.  The phrase is normally meant as "I started
with a single block of wood and did nothing but subtract wood from it".  It
implies higher value to the piece since doing it this way and doing it well,
represents a higher level of skill both in the carving and in the design.

  To carvers that do a lot of carving shows and Arts & Craft shows, "Is that
carved from one piece of wood?" is an old and worn question.  I have heard
carvers claim it was one-piece-of-wood even though their piece fit your
second definition... but  only as a come-back to a fellow carver who asked
the question as an inside joke.

  Keep on Carvin'

      I have a crazy question?  When someone says that they carved their
caricature scene from one piece of basswood.  Does that mean that the design
was drawn on the basswood and everything was carved from the one block or
are pieces cut off the one block, carved and then reassembled?  Does my
question make sense or am I just confused?
