Feather
Feather is the tapered region around a raster item on the board at the board surface. This is a traditional way of
carving something into a board without having to carve the whole board.
Feather Tool
When a raster is placed on a board it has a default feather of ¼ inch. The feather can be changed or eliminated
by selecting ‘Feather’ from the ‘Carving’ menu then selecting the desired width of the feather. Feather can also
be changed through the Carving toolbar or by right-clicking on a raster and selecting ‘Feather’ from the context
menu.
