In the plain paint on the ground to decorate, not only make the large paint furniture more beautiful, but also improve the grade, ash carving is such a lacquer decoration process.
Engraving gray, also known as “color”, “painting”, is after the furniture paint, with tools to shovel out the decoration and fill a process.
Ash screen
Colored oil and lacquer. The oil color is bright and gorgeous, the decoration is very strong, because its surface strength and water resistance is slightly worse, especially suitable for the production of screen-type furnishings furniture, paint color is not as popular as oil color.
The process difference between carving ash and carving is mainly as: First, carving gray multi-shovel surface left wire, carving filling is engraving line retention, second, carving ash shovel to paint under the gray layer, carving filling only engraved paint layer. Therefore, people often refer to the carving of ash as “big carving”.
When making carved furniture, use “full”(paste made from cooked oil and batter, known as “eel water”), blood (made from fresh pig blood andlime water), paste and brick ash (made from old green brick).
When operating, first in the furniture wood tire scraping when gray (roughgray), when the gray dry after paste linen or hemp, linen dry, in turn scraped hemp ash (coarse gray), medium gray,fine gray;
A knife carved with ash
After the oil of the furniture gray tire is dry ( the nail can draw a white path ), scrape two pieces of oil ash, the oil ash is the use of blood to add a discretionary amount of blank oil ( a kind of cooked oil without anti-drying agent, slow drying Make the oil ash soft and easy to carve) mixed into the soil powder (a kind of stone powder, white delicate, easy to lower the knife and support color) made, scraping the head road oil ash should be thick, so as not to show the bottom ash at the time of shoveling.
After the oil ash dry grinding, scraping ash (the thinnest brick ash) two, after the pulp ash drying, polishing paint, gray furniture paint mainly black, generally raw paint, varnish and finish paint three, need to polish the paint to push light.
After the paint tire of the carved gray furniture is done, the pattern decoration can be carved, the traditional process is:
First of all, the printed paper samples attached to the paint floor, according to the pattern under the knife line, lines to be smooth, shallow to be moderate;
Carved gray from the ground
After the bottom of the shovel is finished, remove the paper sample, scrape the putty in a large area of ash blank to find flat;

Because the traditional lacquer craft materials are expensive and difficult to operate, in recent years, many new processes and materials have been studied, simplifying the process and reducing the cost, so that lacquer furniture, a luxury that the ancient nobles can enjoy, can enter today’s fashion consumer class. For example: the use of water-soluble glue such as polyethylene alcohol instead of blood or raw paint mixed with ash, the price is cheaper and not easy to crack;
In addition, ash can also be combined with other processes, composite decoration, so that furniture more exquisite, can also be used to make antique furniture, do not have a Wyeth charm.
