Abstract

 
What wood Inlay brings to mind is a surface covered with small triangles. Such method is called triangle inlay but there are other techniques that use other geometric designs. These designs are generally categorized in non-triangle inlay category. Non-triangle inlay category includes various methods and patterns which are quickly disappearing from memories. Such issue hassled to incorrect assumptions about how some of these patterns are created. Accurate classification and comprehensive introduction to traditional practices of manufacturing them could be useful in correcting attitudes and safeguarding his art. So, the main issue of present study is that: "what is non-triangle inlay art and what are its types and styles?", then we could ask "what are the technical bases of creating each of them?" We will also study how incorrect assumptions were created about the methods used in creating some of these arts. Quasi-Experimental Research. Method was used in present research due to the fact that there was not the possibility of changing all variants and the necessity of using traditional method, and data was gathered from library an field work (observational and workshop); and descriptive-analytical method was used to present data. Results indicate the existence of various types and styles of Inlay art; what's more, they also identify and separate some other branches which were, incorrectly, assumed as inlay while they are totally different from this artistic branch. Recognition and Resuscitation of "Arrange Strip" art and presentation of two new techniques of "Square Wood Inlay" are other results of present paper.
