Brief Introduction

What are the importance of Enhancing/Decorating Bamboo,

Wood, and Metal Products?

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.
What are the different methods of Enhancing/Decorating Bamboo, Wood,
and Metal Products?
WOODTURNING 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.
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.
STAINING It is used to color wood to
give an illusion of texture. This may
come in two varieties. First, pigment-

the wood, while dye-based stain color
small pores of the wood.
PAINTING It is considered the
simplest way of decorating wood

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

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
