Question
Hi Jamie

I enjoyed reading your answer to the "bookshelf wall" question.  You referred to something you called "solid wood edging" to disguise what the bookshelf was made from.  I have not heard this term before (im in NewZealand so perhaps we use a different saying?)

Do you have any online examples or pics of what this looks like and how it disguises the construction material? I am having trouble picturing what you mean...

Thanks

Answer
Andy,

I couldn't figure out a way to post a picture of solid wood edging on this All-Experts site, so I just blogged about your question on my woodworking blog.
