| Wood appliqués and wood carvings are often called gingerbreads. Wood appliqués are glued and sometimes nailed to furniture, cabinets and desks as added decoration. Embossed wood, onlays, wood appliqués, wood carvings, call them what you like, but these are the same type wood carvings that have been used in the furniture and cabinetry trade for many many years.
The uses of wood appliqués are almost endless. Customers have used them on walls, woodwork, furniture, drawers, ceilings, and places they have never told us about. They can be drilled, sanded, cut, filled, stained, painted, and generally treated like any other piece of wood.For Shaker pegs, wood legs and feet, buttons, spindles, finials, dowels, plugs crowns, and more, look in our "Crafty Wood Items" section. |
