  Reeding \Reed"ing\ (r[=e]d"[i^]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}.
            [1913 Webster]


  
     Note: Several reedings are often placed together, parallel to
           each other, either projecting from, or inserted into,
           the adjoining surface. The decoration so produced is
           then called, in general, reeding.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     2. The nurling on the edge of a coin; -- commonly called
        milling.
        [1913 Webster]
