  Reeding  \Reed"ing\  (r?d"?ng),  n.  [From  4th  {Reed}.] 
  1.  (Arch.)  A  small  convex  molding;  a  reed  (see  Illust. 
  i  of  {Molding});  one  of  several  set  close  together  to 
  decorate  a  surface;  also  decoration  by  means  of 
  reedings;  --  the  reverse  of  fluting. 
 
  Note:  Several  reedings  are  often  placed  together,  parallel  to 
  each  other  either  projecting  from  or  inserted  into 
  the  adjining  surface.  The  decoration  so  produced  is 
  then  called  in  general,  reeding.
