The Process of How This Item is Made:
The Supply of Wood and How to Choose
Firstly, the old trees around the age of 80-100 years which does not bear walnut anymore are being cut under the control of Regional Directorate of Forestry which happens at the full moon period of the month to avoid the helminthiasis.
When the roundwood comes to the workshop, it is cut into wooden boards which is called as 'lata'. Then, the wooden boards are sent to the steaming room. After a week, these wooden boards are put into an indoor space in an order to let them take the air. And they are left to dry for 2-3 years.
Production
When the dry wood arrives in workshop, depending on the size of the product, the authentic wood is attached with wood glue, tightened by clamp and waits for a day to dry. After that, the surface of the wood is smoothened by the help of planning machine.
The models are usually inspired by the Roman and Ottoman baroque. We scratch the model on the wood and enlay the mother of pearl on the wood.And we do the sanding to get a smoother surface.
When the item is ready to paint, we do the impregnation first, to protect the wood from the insects. And after painting we do the varnishing to protect the wood from external influences.
Waits for a day after the varnishing before it gets ready.
