Bottom carving

It is the classification of furniture carving, which does not need hollowing out. Sole carving can be subdivided into relief carving and intaglio carving. Generally only hard furniture can be embossed, because embossing stresses toughness. The image created by the relief restoration is more realistic and the outline is clear. Yin carving is mainly aimed at lacquer furniture. The greater the contrast between lacquer color and wood color, the better the effect of Chinese calligraphy and painting will be.

Bottomless carving

It is another classification of furniture carving, which corresponds to the carving on the lower left. Divided into through carving, round carving and double-sided carving.
