BONUS TECHNIQUE: THE "SHADED-EDGE" We developed the "shaded-edge" as a decorative and time-saving technique for our popular children's stools, custom clothes racks and many other projects. It's very effective on softwood projects that have been band sawed or scroll sawed and have fine saw marks on the edges or on softwood projects that have been edge routed or shaped and have a bit of fuzz or roughness around the edges. After the flat areas of the project have been sanded, we use a propane torch and lightly burn or scorch the edges of the project. This removes the fuzz and saw marks and any loose char will quickly sand out to yield a smooth surface ready for stain and finish. The light brown coloring left by the torching will offer a dark highlight to the edges of the project and is especially effective when used with a medium or dark brown stain and glossy or semi-gloss finish. We like to add to the edging technique by playing the torch along the flat areas of the project to heighten the grain pattern by darkening the summer and spring grain lines at different rates. This technique is difficult to convey in words, as it is entirely visual, but if you grab a couple pieces of scrap softwood and play around around with the technique, we're sure you will enjoy the special effect. Have a damp cloth handy to extinguish any parts of the edge that catch fire and have a fire extinguisher handy so things won't get out of control. Here are some samples to show the technique: This is a child's toybox or storage box that has been lightly distressed, the edges darkened with a torch and then stained and finished with a penetration oil finish. Nicks and dents show a lot less if the box is already lightly distressed! This rocking horse has also been given the shaded edge treatment. Note how the edges are shadowed and darker than the flat areas of the wood. It is very attractive and simple. Saves sanding too! These are mini-pots that have been roughed or distressed, heavily torched and the char removed with steel wool. A gloss finish was applied. The gloss over the darkened wood looks very deep and rich for little work! Be careful when trying this technique... Having flames, wood, sawdust and finishes in close proximity can be dangerous.
