Pinnoituslinjoja

Pinnoituslinjoja, or "pin lines," are a type of decorative element commonly used in woodworking and furniture making. They are thin strips of wood, typically made from the same material as the main piece, that are glued or nailed onto the surface to create a pattern or design. Pinnoituslinjoja can be used to add visual interest, create a sense of depth, or mimic the appearance of grain patterns in other materials.

The process of creating pinnoituslinjoja involves cutting the strips to the desired width and length, then applying them to the surface at regular intervals. The strips can be arranged in various patterns, such as parallel lines, chevrons, or spirals, depending on the desired effect. Once the strips are in place, they are typically sealed with a finish to protect them from wear and tear.

Pinnoituslinjoja are often used in traditional Finnish furniture, where they are known as "pinnoituslinja." They are also used in modern furniture design to create a unique and distinctive look. The technique requires some skill and precision, but it can be a rewarding way to add a personal touch to a piece of furniture.
