finished products

What’s In

In our home or in our locality/community there are many bamboo, wood, and
metal products found that we use in our daily lives. Can you identify some of them?
Can you tell their uses? How can we enhance those products to make it beautiful?

 What’s New

What is Industrial Arts? Do you know that it plays an important role in our
economy? Yes. In this module, you will find many occupations and businesses that
belong in this area. Thousands are employed in different industrial works, both in
rural and urban areas.

This lesson will acquaint you with different products made of bamboo and
wood that are designed, manufactured, and are sold both here and abroad. It will
also discuss ways by which one can enhance finished products made of these
materials.

It is important that the products you make whether they are made of bamboo,
wood and metals look beautiful and have a high market value. In this lesson, you
will learn the different techniques on how to improve products made of bamboo, wood
and metals. A product’s embellishments, color, shape, size, and overall designs.
How are you coping with our lesson? I hope you are curious about the

What is It

After doing the activities above, you are now ready for the lesson. What do you
think are the importance and methods of enhancing/decorating bamboo and wood
products?

Importance of Enhancing/Decorating Bamboo and Wood products

➢ Finished products tend to be more saleable to customers when enhanced

and decorated.
➢ Enhanced and decorated finished products help maintain their durability
from harsh elements.
➢ Finished products that are enhanced or decorated beautify the product
itself.

A. Methods of enhancing/decorating bamboo and wood products

Woodcraft and bamboo craft can be enhanced using a variety of methods and
techniques. These include:

1. Woodturning is a process of using a lathe to make various forms and

shapes of wood.

8
2. Hand Carving is considered as woodcraft in which a sharp object is used
to create designs on the wood. Various textures and surfaces can be using
this technique. Tools such as chip carving knife, gouges, and chisels are
used.

3. Pyrography – is considered an art using a fire or heat to decorate wood or

leather.

4. Flocking technique- lines the interior of drawers and boxers with a soft
velvety finish.

“Flocking” is a decoration process that enhances the way a wide

variety of products are experienced by making
ordinary
surfaces seem far more magical and special.

“Flocking” is the process of depositing millions of individual cut

fiber particles (called “flock) into the surface of an article
for the purpose of increasing the tactile sensation,
aesthetics, color and appearance.

5. Inlaying- combines several techniques that involve inserting decorative

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

6. Gilding-is considered as a decorative technique in which powder is applied

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

9
 7. Staining- it is used to color wood to give an illusion of texture. This may
come in two varieties:

Pigment Dye-
Based based
Stain stain

Color large pores of Color small pores of

the wood the wood

8. Painting – 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 more shiny and glossy.

A. Metal craft Enhancing Techniques

The following are some techniques used to enhance or add design

elements on metal products:

1. Engraving- is a method of transferring a design on a metal using a

hardened steel tool called burin or graver to cut into the surface of
the metal.

2. Etching- 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.

10
 3. Metal Enhancing Media-such as metal paints, colic markers and
antiquing kits give color to the metal product. Metal paints maybe
applied using a brush or spray.

4. Texturing and Embossing – In this technique you will need

hammers, metal stamps, stencils, and other materials to create
imprints on the metal with different textures, a hammer and a nail
can still be used to create your own design.
