What this page is
This page quotes r/Woodcarving's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-09-26. The quoted text is the community's; the verdict above is our reading of it. Conditions often decide whether a post fits (a required thread, flair, posting day, account age or karma), and r/Woodcarving's current rules on Reddit always win over this page.
Free, for a specific product: a researched Reddit plan by email (communities whose rules fit your post, quoted and dated), or ThreadFox Lite, read-only tools an AI assistant can use to read a community's current rules itself, through your own Chrome (Claude Code: claude mcp add threadfox-lite -- uvx threadfox-lite). For an assistant that also writes and posts within each community's rules, the ThreadFox kit is $49 once.

All 7 rules of r/Woodcarving
- All posts must be related to woodcarving
Share your projects, ask questions and learn from each other. Off-topic comments will be removed at the moderators' discretion. This is not the right sub for identifying wood species or sharing pyrography (unless carved), bushcraft and ASMR content. - Be kind and respectful to each other
No gatekeeping, excessive profanity, rude, hurtful or discriminatory comments. This subreddit is a place for everyone. Any criticism must be constructive. - All NSFW posts must be tagged
Artistic nudity is allowed, but must be tagged. Sexually explicit material or pictures of injuries will be removed. - No spam or low effort posts
Don't flood the sub with multiple posts: group your carvings into a single post or space them out over time. By 'low effort', we mean excessively posting artwork which isn't yours. We allow this in moderation, as long as you credit the original carver and use the appropriate flair. We ask everyone to engage with the community beyond these kind of posts. - Credit the original designer
If your carving is based on a tutorial or a design created by someone else, please make sure to credit the original designer. - No self promotion
Unsolicited links to Etsy shops or social media will be removed at the moderators' discretion. We tolerate subtle handles on the image/video but no hawking. Youtube tutorials are allowed. - No CNC, Laser Cutting, or AI generated posts
This sub is dedicated to the art and technique of carving wood, not designing objects which are made of wood. We don't accept CNC, laser cutting or AI generated carvings. Power carving carvings are welcome.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
Let your AI read the rules before it posts.
ThreadFox reads a community's current rules, writes a post that fits them, posts once with Reddit's Brand affiliate tag and checks it stayed up. The free ThreadFox Lite reads rules too.
