Welcome to the group. From the look of your work I don't think that you'll have any problems with relief carving.

As an engraver ,and scrimshaw your 90 percent there for relief. You can use the same tools as your already use to , just different media. From there just learning shadowing and puting in undercuts. If you wish to use power tools for producing the carvings, if you looking at hand chisels well you will have fun learn how wood cuts. But welcome to the fourm.
