Fruitwood is identical to bone white in application, except that the undercoater is tinted orange tan and the glaze is made up of equal parts of burnt umber and burnt sienna. The finish coat should be a dead flat varnish or lacquer. TwoToning. A final finish that employs two colors of harmonizing or contrasting enamel is said to be twotoned. A similar effect may be obtained in a transparent finish by the use of light and dark stains. Customarily a natural division separates the colors, such as the framing of a panel, the back, legs, or stretchers of a chair, or the top of a table. The division may be artificial in that it is routed or veined, in which case it must be sealed, and may be separately colored or stained. Decorator's masking tape, or ordinary Scotch tape is an ideal time saver for establishing the line of demarkation between colors. Pressed down carefully so that its straight "working" edge is not crimped, the second tone or color can be brushed or sprayed on without fear of smudging or blending. Prior planning will indicate which part of the undercoater should be tinted to the color of its particular finish, rather than attempting to divide the two tones over an undercoater of a single color. Banding is a simplified form of twotoned effect usually applied to an opaque finish at such points as table, shelf and chair seat edges, and between masking tape around chair and table legs, spindles, and spreaders. Two coats should be applied if the final finish is to be rubbed. Striping is also generally applied over an enamel finish to add interest to an otherwise plain surface. Here, too, masking tape will enable the amateur to turn out lines as straight and clean as are achieved by mechanical stripers. The colors used should be of a thick creamy consistency; colors ground in japan fortified by a small amount of varnish will prove most satisfactory if no protective finish is to be applied. Color Harmony. Astudy of the color wheel in Figure 5.11 will solve most mixing problems. Any one of the three primary colors shown in the large circles When mixed with another primary color will produce the secondary color whose mitial appears in the mediumsized circle between the primary color used. Thus 338 FURNITURE MAKING AND CABINET WORK yellow and blue make green, blue and red will produce violet, and red and yellow form orange. In like manner the six intermediate colors represented by the smallest circles are the product of the primary and secondary colors adjacent to them. The addition of black produces a shade; admixture with white makes a tint. Fig. 5.ii. Color wheel. As will be further developed in Chapter 10, color harmonies consist of combinations that do not clash. They are roughly divided into (1) the complementary colors, which are opposite to each other on the color wheel, such as red and green; (2) those which are analogous or adjacent to each other, as for example, redviolet, red and redorange, all related because each contains red; (3) a onecolor harmony called monochromatic because it is made by changing the value of a single color through the addition of black or white.
