These panels, in 60-70 cm squares, are made from triangular, six-sided or lozenge pieces of fine wood, 8 mm thick, laid according to a geometrical pattern on an 18 mm backing made from deal planks forming a thickness of 26 mm. Like a kaleidoscope, by matching one panel against another in the flooring of the 18th and 19th century, the geometrical composition is multiplied producing a very well balanced effect.

The "fine woods" with which the tarsia are made are all typical of the European regions, selected for the colour combinations they create and all with excellent resistance and hardness.

Cherry (Prunus avium) strong and compact wood with narrow and regular texture, in typical sunny shade verging on orange.
Oak (Quercus robur) very hard wood, with wide texture, slightly rustic, grey-brown colour.
Walnut (Juglans regia) fine wood, hard and compact, with narrow texture, in various tones of brown with shades from light to dark brown.
Chestnut (Castanea sativa) pleasantly rustic wood with wide texture, warm tone and dark colour because of the tannin content.
Pear (Pyrus communis) solid wood with very fine and even texture, typical pale pink colour.
Maple ( Acer pseudoplatanus) very strong wood with smooth texture, light colour and satiny finish.
