Using the wooden tools to flatten the boards and then using pigskin glue to join several boards together, this step had to be seamless and required a significant amount of strength, making it quite difficult. Chu Qingzhi also expended considerable effort to complete it.
After joining three boards, the frame's edges were carved.
Chu Qingzhi planned to carve cloud patterns on the edge, a technique similar to array carving, an area in which Chu Qingzhi had some experience, although not very proficient. However, it was more than enough for carving patterns.
Carpenter Chu, upon seeing the small section of the pattern already carved, was full of admiration. "Qingzhi, what is it that you can't do?"
Chu Qingzhi humbly replied, "You flatter me. I simply learn quickly and am not that remarkable."
"Not remarkable?" Carpenter Chu widened his eyes and emphasized, "If you're not remarkable, then the rest of us are fools!"
