Photograph carved into wood.

[sw4rm]

Afternoon, I'm looking for some some expert knowledge. A while ago i saw a piece of art/ornament in someones house. It was a flat piece of wood about 3ft high 2ft wide and half inch thick. It had a photograph carved into it, but looked as if they had used different depths of lines to get the detail. I seem to remember all of the lines being horizontal however i'm struggling to work out how it was so detailed if that was the case.

I want to have a photograph carved into wood in the same way. Who would i go to for this? Graphic design company? Some sort of furniture maker?

If anyone can shed any light on what the particular style is called that would be helpful. I've searched for what I would describe it as and this has brought up no results. I'm hoping someone here has seen this before and understands.

Thanks

It will quite likely have been done on a CNC miller/router.

I tried "photograph carved into wood" first then "photograph engraved into wood" which is when I got the above.

Yes I visited that site when I was searching for it before I asked on here.
It's not the same thing and it's not very nice to look at either.
