India has been blessed with a rich culture of multiple architectural styles that continue to influence design in current times. Every region in India has its distinct, unique style that characterizes traditional products of the region. Among other things, intricate carvings in wood featuring everything from fine lattice designs to kaleidoscopic patterns have always held great popularity in both crafted products and architecture. India is probably one of the few countries in the world where hand carving continues to be practiced quite commonly. However, many suppliers have adopted CNC machines to achieve large scale production of carved wooden products.
Intricately carved solid wooden doors are in great demand across the country and resultantly there is a demand for versatile wood that can offer the perfect canvas to achieve detailing with minimum effort.
Douglas fir, western red cedar and yellow cedar are ideal wood varieties for creating intricate carvings due to their easy workability and ability to take on a range of stains and finishes easily.
