[expand]The woodworking employed specific methods:
The relief carving removed background—patterns stood raised from surface, the three-dimensional effect created visual emphasis, the relief work was sculptural decoration. The relief was dimensional pattern.
The incised carving cut into surface—lines grooved into wood created pattern through shadow, the technique suited fine detail work, the incision was linear inscription. The incising was drawn text.
The chip carving removed triangular pieces—geometric patterns emerged through systematic removal, the technique produced characteristic faceted appearance, the chip work was angular geometry. The chipping was sculptural pattern.
The burning technique created dark lines—hot tools scorched patterns into wood, the burn marks were permanent and distinctive, the pyrography was thermal inscription. The burning was fire writing.
The inlay work incorporated different materials—contrasting woods or other substances filled carved channels, the material variation created visual complexity, the inlay was multimedia composition. The insertion was material combination.
