  • Method of making patterns in wood and decorative articles of wood made from said method
    Patent number: 7108031
    Abstract: A method for providing a decorative wood surface that is two-dimensional but creates a three-dimensional visual pattern. The upper surface of a wood member is embossed to form ridges, valleys, and transition zones. After embossing, the upper portions of the ridges are removed so as to leave a substantial planar surface which is made up of lower portions of the ridges, upper portions of the valleys, and slanted surface portions of the transition areas. The result is that there are different reflective patterns which provide the three-dimensional visual effect.
