 Carvings

Close-grained wood is necessary for detailed carvings. Lime is a soft close-grained wood that was considered the best carving medium. Oak, although used extensively for furniture construction from the Middle Ages until the mid 17th century, is opened grained making detailed work imposable. Mahogany imported to Europe from the West Indies was hard and close-grained; requiring tempered steel tools to carve. Pine and beech were often used on pieces to be gilded.
