Solid Wood Species Behavior In Hand-Carved Furniture Engineering

Solid wood is not a uniform substrate. Each species exhibits a distinct combination of structural properties:

• Fiber length and interlocking pattern.
• Growth ring density variation.
• Internal residual stress from maturation.

Cracking is not random; it is the visible release of internal stress exceeding tensile tolerance after reduction.

• High-Density: May fracture instead of deform.
• Low-Density: May creep or warp before cracking.
• Uneven Grain: Amplifies localized stress.

Classification of species response to material removal for engineering prediction:

• Stable: Gradual stress redistribution; deep relief safe.
• Brittle: High compression, low tension; conservative depth.
• Flexible: Tolerates carving but risks delayed warping.

OE-FASHION does not apply universal carving rules. Strategies are adjusted per species profile.

• Depth limits set by species density.
• Sequencing adjusted for relaxation rates.
• Reinforcement strategies integration.
