The Garda shores are rich in trees that provide wood: oaks, olives, willows, beeches, and at higher altitudes, chestnuts, larches, and firs, to name the most common plants. In crafting objects, carpenters chose the types of wood with the most suitable characteristics for the stresses the item would endure: baskets were made from willow branches, the masts of boats from spruce, and fir planks were used to form boat hulls and washboards.
Wheelbarrows for transporting stones were made of hard oak, while the handles of the scythe, spade, and pitchfork were made of ash. The animal yoke was made of oak or ash. Furniture could be made of walnut, cherry, or fir, but they were also crafted using different woods: for table legs, hard cherry was used, while the tabletop was often made of fir. In the museum, we can see all the mentioned artifacts and the equipment needed to create them. In the center of the room is a large vise for gluing or working wood, and on the walls, various saws for cutting planks and assembling the work.
