Traditional red sandalwood carving techniques are mainly used in the production of traditional Ming and Qing Dynasty palace furniture. They represent the highest level of woodworking technology at that time and have special style characteristics. Red sandalwood carving is handmade, and its carving techniques are diverse, integrating various techniques such as line carving (positive carving, negative carving), shallow relief, deep relief, flat carving, round carving, hair carving, and openwork carving. The works are based on wood, carved instead of pen, and painted with knives. The composition is lush and full, the knife technique is vigorous and bold, and the picture is deep and far. The themes of the works are wide-ranging, mainly landscapes, flowers, birds and beasts, and antiques. Its patterns and patterns contain good wishes for good luck, many children and blessings, longevity, and a prosperous official career. The mortise and tenon structure carving used in red sandalwood furniture is even more precise and ingenious. No nails are used throughout the body, and it relies entirely on the mortise and tenon fit, and the parts are inseparable. Its precise craftsmanship and tight fit, without any room for error, give people a sense of seamlessness, which is beyond the reach of modern mechanical technology. The production of sandalwood carving artworks requires more than a dozen processes, including wood drying, cutting, sawing, assembly, manual pounding, carving, cleaning, polishing, waxing, etc. The production of a sandalwood carving work takes at least one year, and at most several years. With the changes of the times and the development of large-scale industrial processes, mechanical production has long penetrated into every link of traditional furniture manufacturing, and the traditional red sandalwood carving craft is facing the crisis of extinction.
