Woodcraft & Carving
Carved panels, turned bowls, inlaid boxes, furniture components and architectural salvage all sit in this family. Species selection drives everything downstream: moisture behaviour, carving detail, legal documentation and price. Any buyer moving carved wood across borders now works inside timber legality rules, so provenance paperwork belongs in the first conversation, not the last. This section covers the world's carving traditions, inlay and marquetry work, lacquer and oil finishes, and the kiln-drying and moisture-content questions that decide whether a carved piece cracks in a dry destination market.
