Famous examples include bodiless lacquerware from Fujian, wood carving from Dongyang, Zhejiang, and wood carving from Chaozhou, Guangdong.

There are various types of wooden handicrafts, including furniture, stationery, ornaments, pendants, musical instruments, toys, etc. They can be both practical items and pure artistic decorations. The selection of wood has a great impact on the quality of handicrafts, and common wood types include sandalwood, peach wood, pear wood, rosewood, pine, etc.

Wooden crafts have a unique texture and beauty, and each piece is unique. They not only beautify living spaces, but also have certain collection value. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, people are paying more and more attention to sustainable materials. Some fast-growing tree species and recycled wood are also used to make wooden crafts to reduce the consumption of natural resources.
