Further, they are cut into smaller pieces as per the requirement using the saw tool. These wooden pieces are further shaped using a file tool. The shaped wood pieces are further attached using glue or tightly fixed in-between the gaps. Upon the basic structure, the paste is applied. The paste is a mixture of sawdust and tamarind seeds that are ground well and kneaded together with water to get the required consistency.
