A bead is a woodworking decorative treatment applied to various elements of wooden furniture, boxes
and other items.
A bead is typically a rounded shape cut into a square edge to soften the edge and provide some
protection against splitting. Beads can be simple round shapes, or more complex patterns.
A bead may be created with an electric router, a special moulding handplane or a scratch stock. Beads
are usually cut directly into the edge of the item to which the bead is being applied. However, beads
applied across the grain are usually cut into a separate piece which is then fixed in position.
