Root coffee table production method (step)
First, material selection
In the first step, if you want to have a work that is both ornamental and practical, the choice of raw materials is very important. Because the tree species in nature are varied and the roots are different. It is almost impossible to create a root art work without processing. However, the roots of natural beauty are everywhere, and you need to have a pair of beautiful eyes. There are two main sources of rootstock. One is to pick from the hillside, beside the road, and on the side of the terrace; pick from piles and waste roots that are thrown away from the farm firewood and garden. The second is to buy from the market. In addition, the selection of roots mainly starts with the material and form of the root. The variety and firmness of the material are better, and the firmness is better, and the form is the most distinctive, such as the roots, etc., choose some more complex roots, so as to find out more propositions.
Second, the root material processing
1, peeling cleaning
There are generally two methods, knife stripping and soaking. The former requires that the root material be washed first, and then it should be kept outside for two or three days. After most of the water evaporates, the bark is picked up with a knife from the fracture site. The latter is applicable to dried and dried roots that have been placed for a long period of time. The roots are immersed in water for several days until they can be removed. Care must be taken not to damage the root material and to destroy the texture. In fact, as long as it does not damage the wood, we do not have to stick to the above method.
2, rot
The rot in the material is partially removed to clean the stains and bacteria, but also to add cleanliness and beauty to the root material.
3, crack prevention and pest control
There are also several ways, such as natural drying, cooking, drying, soaking and so on. In general, when cooking, it is necessary to add proper float powder, 666 powder, etc. before killing the insects. Using the materials treated with anti-crack and insect repellent to make root carvings, they are not prone to dry cracking or deformation. Insects, rotting, discoloration.
Third, the concept
That is, you need to have a concept, what kind of work you need to create, and what kind of modeling is. In the later period of carving, "three-carvings and seven-grindings" should be observed to simulate the root natural form of the grinding method, supplemented by a small number of local carvings, so that the shape of the carved and rooted parts can be integrated as far as possible. Do not reveal the traces of carving, try not to destroy its natural form and beauty.
Fourth, processing and engraving
Once you have a rough idea, start work. First, treat some branches or roots that you think are not useful. The cross section can be fired into natural caves, and the convex surface is processed into a knob-like shape to achieve natural beauty. For some cases where the root material is incomplete, it is possible to use the root material of the same texture for splicing. The technique should be delicate and do not leave traces.

V. Polished and painted
After the basic form has been carved, we polish it with a thicker emery cloth, polish the flaws, and polish it with a fine emery cloth to make the surface look good. Note: The intensity of the grinding should be uniform to avoid destroying the original color and texture. In order to protect the work against corrosion, dust, and insects, it can also enhance its artistic effect. It can also be colored and painted. There are two popular methods for coloring: (1) True color: direct waxing or varnishing, but also The original color can be painted 3 times, the color is fresh and elegant, and will not cover the natural lines of the roots, simple and natural, more obvious natural beauty. (2) Bronze: The color is similar to that of mahogany and it highlights the characteristics of ancient art.
