India has a long history of woodwork an d carving that dates back thousands of years. The best examples of wood work in India are temple cars and traditional furniture. Woodwork is done by artisans who have inherited their profession from their parents, and knowledge transfer occurs through word of mouth and practical training within the community from master craftsman to trainee. Due to urbanisation and a lack of patronage, artisans are being forced to abandon their traditional work and seek alternative employment. Because the work is not docume nted, there is a high risk of knowledge loss. This paper attempts to document traditional designs by utilising published images of the articles and employing an image to scale technique to capture the form and dimensions so that designs can be preserved.
