Hi All
Can you please help with the enclosed identification of this plain wood moulding.
I had a length of it no idea where from and built a frame for a customer with it apply a natural wax. The customer loved it, so much so, she now wants the same for another picture in the same series of the previous one framed.
It looks like oak but seemed to cut and pin better than natural oak. The size is approx 38mm wide, 15mm thick and has a 10mm rebate.

It might be ash wood.
I use a 33mm wide version from Holroyd http://www.fwholroyd.com/h210300/

Re: PLAIN WOOD ID
I recognised it straight away. It's Simons OAK/3, which is 38mm wide. Arqadia do a very similar moulding, but the oak used for the Simons moulding is easier to cut and join, plus it's also cheaper.
I was given some off cuts of the Arqadia moulding by Danchips a few years ago and it was much harder work to cut and join.
I don't intend this as a criticism, in fact the arqadia version of this moulding was very nice quality, but it was not easy to join on my manual underpinner, which lacked the umph when driving in the wedges. I imagine that a good pneumatic underpinner would do the job much easier.
