Material Selection: Choosing the right wood is the first step in making wooden handicrafts.
The process of making wooden handicrafts usually includes the following steps:
Material Selection: Choosing the right wood is the first step in making wooden handicrafts. Common woods include rosewood, rosewood, and hua-li, each with different textures and grains suitable for different types of handicrafts. When selecting materials, craftsmen carefully inspect the quality of the wood to ensure it is free from cracks, insect damage, and has clear and beautiful grain patterns.
Design: Based on the characteristics of the wood and the purpose of the handicraft, the shape and pattern of the handicraft are designed. The design can be traditional patterns or modern creative designs. Craftsmen use their experience and imagination to sketch their design ideas on paper or directly mark them on the wood.
Cutting: Using saws or other tools, the wood is cut into the desired shape and size. This process requires precise operation to ensure that the dimensions of the cut match the design requirements.
Carving: This is a key step in making wooden handicrafts. Craftsmen use various carving tools, such as chisels and gouges, to carve patterns and details into the wood. During the carving process, craftsmen need to adjust the carving force and angle according to the hardness and grain of the wood to achieve the best effect.
Sanding: After carving, the surface of the wood needs to be sanded to make it smooth and delicate. Sanding usually requires multiple rounds, from coarse to fine, to achieve the desired texture. During sanding, craftsmen use sandpaper of different grits to gradually remove the rough parts of the wood surface, making it smooth as silk.
Painting or Oil Application: The final step is to apply paint or oil to the wooden handicraft. This not only protects the wood but also enhances its luster and beauty. Commonly used paints or oils include clear varnish and walnut oil. These materials form a protective layer to prevent the wood from moisture and cracking while enhancing the natural grain and color of the wood.
