What does FUMED mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Darkened to a rich brown by exposure to ammonia vapour, as with fumed oak furniture.
Furniture makers place raw oak in a sealed chamber with strong ammonia and let the wood absorb the vapour for hours or days, and the tannin inside reacts to turn the surface a deep, even brown without any stain being applied. This finishing sense is distinct from the everyday verb fume, meaning to be visibly angry or to give off smoke; a fumed cabinet has simply been treated this way, not left smouldering.
How FUMED is used
Mostly found in furniture making, antiques and interior design writing.
- The catalogue described the sideboard as fumed oak from the 1920s.
- Fumed wood needs no dye, since the colour comes from the reaction itself.
- Collectors pay more for original fumed pieces than for later stained copies.
- The chamber had to be sealed tightly for the panels to be evenly fumed.
- A fumed finish darkens open grain more than closed grain.
