Walnut Wood Carving (Part 1)

The walnut wood tree is locally known as ‘doon kul’ wherein doon means walnut and kul means a tree. The wood is hard and durable; it is close grained and even textured which facilitates fine and detailed carving work. Walnut wood has an inherit sheen which comes on its own when polished with wax. The wood from the root of the tree is almost black and the braches have the lightest color. The cost of the wood differs from each part, with the wood from the root being the most expensive.
