The word Cirmolo originates in the Lombard dialects and indicates the wood produced by the pine, a conifer that grows in the Alps above 1600 meters. It is a reddish wood with peculiar knots. It is a soft wood, used for carvings or rustic furniture or for the lacquered furniture of Venetian furniture makers.
Beech
It is a semi-hard wood which, unfortunately, is easily wormed, therefore it is considered poor. Due to its light but variegated shades, from blond to reddish, it was nevertheless appreciated by French cabinetmakers. It was mainly used for furniture structures or, as an alternative to walnut, by provincial English furniture makers for popular works, mostly in the 1700s. The noblest use is due to Thonèt, who applied the steam bending of the beech in the making of the furniture, in particular for the chairs that took his name.
