Shading Wood Furniture

"Now, in some pieces or in some areas you may want a shadow line. We have one even color here. You may want to put a shadow line around the border. Something, maybe around a drawer or a tabletop. Something like that. So, what I'm going to do now is I am going to shade around the outside and give it contrast. A darker finish on the outside and a lighter on the inside. So, with that we're going to turn the fan on and shade a little bit. This is one of the steps in the process you can alleviate and you don't have to do. Or, you can do it. It gives you a little more depth to a piece or however you want to go about it. Sometimes, we do different pieces in different areas. Like I said, drawer fronts, tops, things like that. But, for the most part it just gives us a two dimensional look. It gives it more of a depth. Especially, if there's no detail in the piece of furniture. Or, if there's just the flat panel. It gives it more interest and more things to occupy your eye. So, we're going to let that dry. And, then we're going to continue on to the next step."
