The second most common lintel is wood. A block of wood embedded at the ends in the stone wall allows carved wood to be nailed to it, thereby providing a decorative effect.
Split stones are also used and vary in color, and bricks laid in various configurations serve as lintels in a number of buildings.
Omission of lintels in instances where cobblestones are laid across the top of the window is the least used format.
