Banding
Used around the edges of tables or drawers for decorative effect, the art and proportion of the banding is vital to the success of the design. Straight banding is one which has been cut along the grain; crossbanding describes that where the wood has been cut across the grain. Very decorative effects were obtained by using different and exotic woods for cross-banding. Herring-bone or feather bandings were used in walnut furniture.
