Black finished mouldings

I also seem to use quite a lot of black but always do it myself. I use a sponge and a good quality PVA black paint and put on layers until it looks good ( some customers like to see the grain coming through) When dry, I wipe it down with a matt sealer and presto. It is more labour intensive than yanking a factory finished thing off the shelf but in the long run less hassle and repairable if bumped around by the customer.

Rose & Hollis ready-stained black ash is a lot quicker than hand-finishing, if the profile is suitable. You do have to colour the cut edges first though.

Couple of pics on the Black theme.
The painting "Woman at the window" by Israel Zohar. 36"x48" Oil on canvas. Sorry I had to spoil it. Copyrights and all that....
All the tones were cool and downbeat. A goldy frame would not look right at all. Variations on a basic Black theme much more complimentary.
Outer moulding slightly textured satin black with a bit of grain.
Panel heavy textured in grey base with top coat of diluted black.
Inner sliver over black.
White liner.
Lights are giving the top a warm cast....The bottom edge is the truer colour.

Certainly is! But then, we expect that from you Prospero! 
I especially like the textured panel. Lovely subtle effect!

Hi Prospero,
A beautifully job, well executed! I like the textured effect. Is it done with a palette knife?

Looks great.
But I think the picture should be entitled "How to cause a RTA"
(Can you make the 'O' in 'Demo' a bit smaller please)

Oh no. The inoccent must be protected.
If you are a good boy, I'll show you the other one.
(paintings that is)It's quite a weird picture actually. There is a prominent window frame within the painting which threw me a bit on the design. Quite an odd effect with a 'real' frame around it.
