Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing / Carpentry & Woodworking
English term or phrase: patinating
A method of wood surface finishing which appears in the following heading under woodworking processes:

"Staining, Patinating"

I have done some research and here is what I have right now:

صباغة الخشب ودهانه بغشاء العتق

The translation for staining is fine, but I am looking for a better translation for patinating.

I am looking for a name that would be familiar in the trade among carpenters and craftsmen, preferably but not necessarily in Egypt or Kuwait.

OOOps, It took me real long to submit my answer, bad connection here *blush*

Mr. Shazly's answer is exactly the same :)

However, I'll add this as well :) :

عند شراء قطع الأثاث، وخصوصا في البازارات، كثيرا ما تعرض قطع متماثلة مع فرق واضح في السعر، ويعود ذلك إلى أن بعض هذه القطع تكون معالجة بحيث يظهر عليها معالم العتق مما يمنحها مظهرا أكثر جاذبية وكأنها قطع أنتيكة. ويعتبر هواة جمع الأعمال الخشبية والمعدنية هذا النوع من المعالجة للمواد متميزا فنيا، حيث يضفي على القطع الحديثة سمات العراقة التي تمنحها مظهرا عالي القيمة يفوق بكثير قيمتها الفعلية. بالإضافة لذلك، فلهذا النوع من المعالجة للمواد أهميته في المجال الفني على مستوى الآثار، حيث تتم دراسته لكشف التزييف من عدمه في القطع الأثرية والفنية تحت الفحص.

تضيف طبقة التعتيق إلى المادة المطلية رونقا واضحا، إلا أنها تستخدم أحيانا للغرض الفني، حيث يتم استغلالها في تغيير اللون، الملمس، أو الانعكاس الضوئي للقطعة.
