Walnut_Weasel home | projects | blog 245 posts in 120 days 78 days ago	I have run across a project or two in books and online where complex inlays on a piece of furniture have “shadowed” edges. I believe this is accomplished by lightly burning the edges of the inlay pieces. My question to you is what is this technique called? And also can anyone recommend some places that a person can learn about this? -- James - What's your excuse this time??

The heat dries out and shrinks the wood so it needs some time to re-hydrate and bounce back. -- Steve, Webster Groves, MO
