DescriptionTable design according to Ancient Indian design manuals Silpa Sastra.jpg |
Image caption text from the source: Jaiia (Micheeleachajupaka) Paduiaka, a Nepalese timber tree yielding a red coloured wood much used in dying medicated oils), Saka (teak, Tectona grandis), and Simsapa (sisu, Dalbergia Sissoo). These include some of the best timber-producing trees of India; the wood of most of these trees is hard, close-grained, susceptible of a good polish, and in everyway well-adapted for cabinet work. The value of sandal, ebony, teak, sisu and gambhar for such purposes is well known. The last is particularly esteemed for the fabrication of the sounding-boards of musical instruments. It is worthy of note, however, that the list does not include the toon, which now-a-days is so extensively employed in furniture-making. The Silpa Sastra (or Shilpa Shastra) and some of the Puranas give detailed directions for felling these trees at particular seasons when the circulation of the sap has stopped; and for seasoning the wood after-wards so as to prevent unequal contractions and cracks during drying.
