How to affix the wooden onlay?
No special tools are required for affixing. You only need a few easy-to-obtain items: sandpaper, wood glue (D2 or D3), and something to hold the onlay in place while it dries. Steps for gluing: it is advisable to sand the back of the onlay before gluing, and if possible, prepare the surface by sanding as well. Apply glue to both of the previously sanded and dusted surfaces, then spread it evenly. After that, simply press the two surfaces together for the drying period. This can be done in several ways: with a cabinetmaker's clamp or by pressing with weights. If any glue seeps out around the onlay, we recommend wiping it off with a slightly damp cloth before it dries. It is advisable to wait for complete drying, which can take 12-24 hours, after which the clamp or press can be removed.
How can a wooden ornament be treated?
Our carved decorations are available pre-sanded but without surface treatment. This way, the glued ornament can be adapted to the style of the furniture being made with the appropriate finishing. Whether using paint, oil, varnish, or stain, it's always worth dusting and degreasing the ornament before finishing for the perfect result. Oiled, varnished, or stained surfaces each highlight the grain of the wood to varying degrees. Painting covers the color and grain of the wood, making the carving blend more with the color of the finished furniture.

The cultural history of the grape motif
The grapevine patterns featured in carvings symbolize a connection to nature, life, and fertility. In ancient Greek and Roman cultures, for example, the grape motif, especially grapevines, often appeared on wooden onlays UK, columns, and architectural elements. This motif carried symbolism related to life, abundance, fertility, and the god Dionysus (Bacchus). In Europe, grape and vine motifs were also widespread in Gothic wooden carvings, especially on church furniture, crosses, and altars, enriching the artifacts with rich decoration and symbolism.
