In the grasslands on Banni there were
traditionally many Desi Baval trees.
Desi Baval although very tough cannot
be carved intricately. A whole school
of wood carving developed which carves
designs which look very pretty but
are not very deep and thus can be
carved on hard wood. The artisans
make small articles of wood and carve
them. The production is highly fragmented
with each artisan making goods on
an individual level. Efforts should
be made to give proper equipment so
that some part of the routine work
like cutting, planning etc. can be
done with the help of a machine while
the carvings are done by hand.
