Importance and Methods of Enhancing/Decorating Bamboo, Wood and Metal Products

What are the different methods of Enhancing/Decorating Bamboo, Wood, and Metal Products?

WOOD TURNING. It is a process of using a lathe to make various forms

and shapes of wood.

HAND CARVING. It is considered a woodcraft in which a sharp object is used

to create designs on the wood. Various textures and surfaces can be created
using this technique. Tools such as chip carving knife, gouges, and chisels are used.

PYROGRAPHY. It is considered an art using a fire or heat to decorate

wood or leather.

STAINING. It is used to color wood to give an illusion of texture.

This may come in two varieties. First, pigment-based stain will color large pores
of the wood, while dye-based stain color small pores of the wood.

PAINTING. It is considered the simplest way of decorating wood since there is a

variety of colors that you can choose from. One may also add a lacquer finish to
make it shinier and glossy.

FLOCKING. It is a technique lines of the interior of

drawers and boxes with a soft velvety finish.

INLAYING. It combines several techniques that involve inserting decorative

pieces into a base object to incorporate new designs on the original product.

GILDING. It is considered as a decorative technique in which powder is applied on

wood or other materials to give a thin coating of gold. Methods of this technique
include gluing, chemical gilding, and electroplating.

Metalcraft Enhancing Techniques

ENGRAVING. It is a method of transferring a design on metal using a hardened
steel tool called burin or graver to cut into the surface of the metal.

ETCHING. It is a process used to make designs or pictures on a metal plate by using

acid that produces corrosive action. In modern manufacturing, strong chemicals are
used on other types of material.

METAL PAINTING. Adding metal enhancing media such as metal paints, copic
markers and antiquing kits give color to the metal product. Metal paints may be
applied using a brush or spray.

TEXTURING and EMBOSSING. In this technique you will

need hammers, metal stamps, stencils, and other materials to create
imprints on the metal. Though there are new technologies used to emboss
a metal with different textures, a hammer and nail can still be used to create your own designs.

Creativity and Innovativeness in Enhancing/Decorating Bamboo, Wood, and Metal Products Products
made of bamboo, wood, and metal are much in demand both in the local and international market. With the
evolving needs of today’s consumers, many entrepreneurs are continuously creating and innovating
products to cater to the demands of the market.
FINISHING MATERIALS
There are many ways or method use on how to decorate finished products. Finishing materials are
commonly used in decorating wood, bamboo, and metal products. Some are listed below:
1. FILLERS. These are applied on wood to fill up cracks, holes, and grooves.
There are two kinds of wood fillers:
a. PASTE FILLER – It comes from silex, raw linseed oil, and turpentine.
It has colors such as natural, red, or golden oak.

b. SHELLAC – is a resin secreted by the female lac bug on trees in the forest
of India and Thailand. It comes from lac gum diluted in alcohol. Shellac
is available in white or orange color. White paste fillers are used to fill in
big cracks and grooves or wood.

2. STAINS. The common wood stains used are oil stain, water stain, and
spirit stain which are named after the solvent used. Stains are sold in
different colors and shades. The easiest to apply on wood is oil stain.
The hardest one to apply is the spirit stain because it dries up easily.

3. ENAMEL. There are two kinds of enamel (water-based & oil-based) there
are also gloss and non-gloss. Gloss enamel gives shine and has an
attractive effect on wood. Non-gloss enamel does not give any shine,
but it beautifies wood.

4. LACQUER. Lacquer paint is a paint that typically dries better on a

hard and smooth surface. It is designed to be chip-resistant,
waterproof, and breathable.

5. PAINT.A finishing material most used on wood. Paint prevents moisture

on the wood which causes decay. Paint beautifies wooden objects and
makes them easy to clean.

6. VARNISH. This is a transparent finishing material that comes from

gum, linseed oil, and resin. It is hard and shiny when dry and gives
shine to the wooden project. Varnish is widely used in furniture
and upholstery making.

REMEMBER
1.Finished products tend to be more salable to customers when enhanced and decorated.
2.Enhanced and decorated finished products help maintain their durability to harsh elements.
3.Finished products that are enhanced or decorated beautify the product itself.
