Description

Summary description:	A bevelled edge connecting two surfaces.
Full description:	A chamfer typically refers to the removal of sharp corners on longitudinal timbers such as purlins. They are often 45 degrees and cut with a draw knife, circular saw or router. Chamfers usually stop before the end of the timber (referred to as a stopped chamfer). This stop can be embellished using a variety of patterns such as Lambs Tongue (see illustration).
