Question:

Shown below is a wooden artifact made using traditional materials and processes. Which option shows the relevant operations involved in its making, not necessarily in the production sequence? 


Show Hint

For traditional craft questions, think about the logical progression of material shaping, finishing, and detailing.

The Correct Option is B

Approach Solution - 1

Step 1: Observe the steps involved in making the wooden artifact. Chiseling and turning are common steps in woodwork, followed by drilling for details and lacquering for finishing.
Step 2: Option B follows a typical order of operations in traditional wooden artifact making.
Step 3: Therefore, the correct answer is (B).

Approach Solution -2

The object shown is a small lathe-turned wooden toy (a rattle/damru-style toy) with a round head, a handle, and a painted finish. Making a piece like this on a lathe follows a fixed order in woodworking: rough the wood to the right size, shape it while it is spinning, drill any holes needed for strings or moving parts only after the main shape exists, and apply the coloured lacquer finish only at the very end, once all cutting and drilling is done, so the finish is not damaged by later machining.

  1. Option A - Chiselling, Drilling, Turning, Centering: Centering the wood on the lathe has to happen before it is shaped, not after turning, and chiselling by hand is not how a round, lathe-turned toy like this is formed. The order here does not match how the piece would actually be made.
  2. Option B - Sizing, Turning, Drilling, Lacquering: This follows the real order of the process, cut the wood to size, turn it on the lathe into the round head and handle, drill the holes needed for the strings and the striking balls, then lacquer the finished shape last.
  3. Option C - Turning, Facing, Balling, Circling: "Balling" and "Circling" are not standard woodworking operations at all, so this option does not describe a real production sequence for the object.
  4. Option D - Turning, Lacquering, Drilling, Chiselling: Lacquering is placed before drilling here, but drilling and any remaining shaping must always come before the finish coat is applied, otherwise the lacquer would be cut through and damaged.

Only the sizing, turning, drilling, lacquering order in option B matches the sequence a woodworker would actually use to make this toy.

So the correct answer is Sizing, Turning, Drilling, Lacquering.
