Sink the head of the nails into the surface and cover them with wood filler. After the ornament is fixed and dusted, the surface can be painted or lacquered immediately.
How can the surface of the wooden carvings be treated?
The RK-203 wooden carvings are sold with an untreated surface. Depending on your choice of material, it can be painted, stained, oiled, or lacquered. Work should be carried out on a dust-free surface, applying several thin layers. During cabinetmaker work, stain or satin varnish is often used. After repairing furniture, a uniform, durable surface can be created with this. Before staining and painting, it is recommended to use a filling primer (e.g., Milesi) to fill the cut wood fibers so the application will have an even color.
Cultural History – Applique flower patterns in furniture decoration
The applique flower patterns on historical furniture evoke natural forms. In the Rococo and Classicist eras, wooden carvings often used flower patterns to convey balance and harmony. These may symbolize love, youth, and earthly existence, and due to their symmetry, can also allude to the Sun and Earth. Master cabinetmakers used these shapes on chests of drawers, cabinets, and tables. The RK-203 design follows these traditions, executed with modern technology.
