[Woodcarver] "High" & "Deep" - Question

[Tom Buggey]

Let me try this one.
High and deep relief can have a generic meaning. For example ancient coins
in "high relief" are just that. The image sticks out far from the coin flan.
However, high and deep relief often refer to undercutting. If you make an
undercut you automatically enter the realm of high relief. At shows one can
be disqualified if s/he enters in a low relief category if there is even the
slightest undercut. With this definition deepness or highness doesn't apply.
