The woodworking including furniture carving etc. is also very popular art in Pakistan. In the Punjab and frontier, regions, it is not uncommon to find, even in small villages, carved doors and pillars on which floral designs are delicately chiseled with considerable skill and beauty.
The woodcarving of Kashmir is of international fame. The floral designs in engraved or raised work are delicately wrought on jewellery boxes, trays etc. Chiniot is known for brass inlay. Ornamenting of wood with lace demands artistic manipulation by the craftsmen of khankot (Hala) and Kashmore. It is used to decorated bed-steads, tables and chairs. Jhang, Sargodha and some areas around Lahore are famous for this work.
