BONE INLAY CABINET 022

First we make the wooden model with compressed wood and soild woods like mango or acasia. The painter makes a sketch with pen for the design over that wooden model. Small pieces of bone or mother of pearl after wash from acids and other chemical to make them clear and infection free. After that the artisans prepare them for making the design by cutting and sanding with hand as per the design. Mostly we have floral design of flowers and leaves. That resigns looks like the colored background for the furniture. A hard and long process. At us, the skill is passed over from generation to generation and some of the exquisite pieces of bone inlay furniture have come out from us.
