routed sight and back edge standard ripple
routed sight and back edge standard ripple
Other examples using standard router cutters to achieve both ripple and spaced ripple effects. Very useful for sight and back edge mouldings.

I for one would find that very useful Geoff.
How fine is it possible to cut the patterns?

Re: routed sight and back edge standard ripple
Hi Prospero,
Thanks for the enquiry. The effects can be as wide or as spaced as you like and the "fine-ness" if you like, relates to the cutter diameter used. I have some period repro cutters that are much finer than the examples pictured though the examples shown could, if required, be finer still. Not to everyone's liking I think but, stained,polished or whatever, can add a different perspective to a frame. Doesn't have to be an old looking one either.

Hi Geoff,
are you using a hand-held router + jigs / router table or a fixed router (don't know what the jargon is for this - I mean one that's built like a drill press)?
Best,
David
