In order to achieve the purpose of demuding, derotting and peeling. In order to avoid discoloration, deformation, decay and cracks in the root carving works, it is also necessary to properly dry the fresh raw materials. After that, further processing is possible.

Root carving] one of the traditional carving arts of the Han nationality is to take the self-generated form and distortion form of tree roots (including tree body, tree nodules, bamboo roots, etc.) as the object of artistic creation, and create artistic image works such as figures, animals, and utensils through conception, artistic processing and technological processing. The art of root carving is to find natural beauty and show creative processing of plastic arts, the root carving process pays attention to "three points of artificial, seven points of nature", which means that in the creation of root carving, the natural form of the root material should be mainly used to express the artistic image, auxiliary artificial processing and modification, therefore, the root carving is also known as "the art of the root" or "the art of the root".

First, apply a layer of tung oil on its surface to prevent the root carving from drying and cracking.

Here's how to fix it:

1. Fill the cracks with special wood powder, pay attention to filling flat, fill the wood or old powder with the surface of the wood flat, and clean up the excess wood powder on the surface of the wood.

2. Use special 502 glue to slowly drip on the place where the wood powder is filled, not too fast, prepare a piece of waste balled cloth, if there is a drop on the surface, please wipe it clean with a waste cloth in time.

3. If the surface oil is obviously uneven and the feel is coarse, you can use sandpaper to polish it smooth.

4. If the color of sawdust is quite different from the round color of the coffee table, match the color essence of the similar color with the white latex. Finally, varnish can be applied.

There are several ways to prevent cracking in root carving handicrafts:

1. Steaming method: Put the root material into the container, add water to cook for more than half an hour, and then take it out to dry. This method is very effective for anti-cracking and anti-deformation.

2. Natural drying method: collect and store the roots in a ventilated and dry place, and leave them for a few months or longer to make them completely dry and the wood performance is relatively stable.

3. Drying method: put the root into the drying kiln or oven for drying, which not only saves time, but also achieves the purpose of drying and shaping.

That. 1. Root carving handicrafts should not be carried for a long time with dust base exposed to the scorching sun and cracked. Root carving handicrafts are just like people, exposed to the sun, easy to "heat stroke". Therefore, when placing them, you should consciously pay attention to them, especially not to place them in the window.

That. Second, the root carving handicrafts should not be placed in a very humid or dry room. In a very humid environment, some root carving handicrafts will grow "hair".

For example, green sandalwood handicrafts will spit out silver-white silk and defend it. It's a beautiful sight, but as far as I know, many people don't like it. In a too dry environment, some of the root carving handicrafts may partially crack.

Moreover, everyone's living standard is much higher now than in the past. The simplest is embodied in the life of the north, there is heating in the winter, and air conditioning can be blown in the summer. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the root carving handicrafts, and do not blow directly against the air withering tuyere.

Don't put him near the heating pipe either.

That. 3. Root carving handicrafts should not be placed near open flames, fire walls, ondols and stoves.

That. Fourth, it is not advisable to wipe with a towel with water, and it is better to wipe it with a cotton towel containing wax or grease.

Usually according to whether the room is clean or not, often use a dry cotton cloth or a feather duster to dust off the root carving handicrafts to show its natural beauty, if you find that the gloss of the root carving handicrafts is not good, you can use a brush to paint the glazing wax on the surface of the root carving handicrafts, wipe it with a rag and polish it. Of course, you can also use a cotton towel dipped in some walnut kernel oil and gently rub it on the surface of the root carving handicrafts, which can also achieve the desired effect. However, do not wipe with a towel with water, which will make the root carving handicrafts too wet, but will not achieve the desired effect, but also hurt them.

Root carving handicrafts are made of tree roots as raw materials, which are screened, conceived and processed. It has little investment, simple tools, and many local farmers have become rich by making root carving handicrafts. The processing procedure is now introduced:

1. Collect root materials. Root carving is precious in nature, and good root materials are not available everywhere. Mountain cliffs, mountain forests, riversides and even the firewood piles of ordinary people are all raw materials with a certain natural shape.

2. Peel and clean up. There are two ways to peel the skin: the fresh peeling method and the soaking method.

The fresh peeling method is to wash the roots with water and leave them in the open air for 2 to 3 days to allow the moisture of the roots to evaporate some, and then use a knife to pry up and peel off the bark from the fracture. The soaking method is suitable for dry roots that have been left for a long time by submerging the roots in water for several days until they can be peeled off. Be careful not to damage the root material and damage the texture.

3. Conceive the model. Don't be in a hurry to carve first, you should carefully ponder and observe its shape based on life experience.

Fourth, engraving and molding. After the conception is completed, it can be processed by hand, cutting off the excess roots, and the section is processed into a natural cave with fire, and the convex surface is processed into a nodule to achieve the effect of natural beauty. It is necessary to use abstract, exaggerated, and hazy images to reflect the natural image of the roots of the tree.

When some root materials are incomplete, you can choose to use the root material of the same texture for splicing, and the technique should be delicate and do not leave traces.

Fifth, grinding. Use a coarse abrasive cloth to polish the root material to smooth out the wound marks, and then polish it with a fine abrasive cloth to make the surface bright and visible. When sanding with an abrasive cloth, the force should be uniform to avoid destroying its original color and texture.

6. Coloring. The raw material for coloring is varnish, which can be painted 3 times on the root material repeatedly, and the practical root carving handicrafts such as flower pot racks, TV stands, etc., can be adjusted and lacquered, so that it is antique. The final step is naming. A good root carving work with a good name can add a lot of value to it.

2. Guangxi Guilin tile kiln, which is similar to Fuzhou, Fujian, is slightly smaller in scale, but there are many strange stones for sale there, as well as the main camphor products and nanmu products in Guangxi.
