Nothing makes a piece of hand-made furniture more appealing and special than intricate carving. Furniture makers have been carving furniture for hundreds of years to add dimension and beauty to wood furniture.
Initially, early carvings were incised cuts and geometric in shape. Over time, as carving tools improved, patterns became more artistic. They often captured natural objects such as flowers, leaves and vines. Now you can find grape carving, acanthus leaves and roses on many pieces of traditional oak furniture.
