A diamond-carved field looks like the easiest carving on this wardrobe and it is the one that most often gives a workshop away, because it is hundreds of identical shapes and the eye audits them all at once.
Each diamond is four facets meeting at a point. If those points sit at even slightly different heights, the field ripples under light and the whole panel looks handmade in the bad sense.
The trick is that the apices are never cut. Our master Indian artisans first bring the entire panel to one true surface - a single flat plane, or on the bowed ends a single fair curve. Then the grid is scored across it in both directions. Then the facets are relieved downward from those score lines, cutting away everything between the crossings.
What is left standing at each crossing is the original surface, untouched. Every apex is therefore automatically at exactly the same height as every other, because they were all once the same piece of wood. Nothing was measured and nothing needed to be.
Cut the diamonds individually and you are asking a person to hit the same height several hundred times. Cut the ground away instead and the timber does it for you.
