Terminology: liner
Posted: Tue 31 Oct, 2017 8:41 pm
Hi.
Reading-up on this forum is fantastic. Such a wealth of experience and expertise. My only problem is that I'm still learning the lingo and like any industry, framing has its own.
I've just learned for example: that frames are 'stacked' when more than one moulding is put together to look like one; that v-nails are also called wedges... it explained why my searches weren't finding them on some suppliers websites and that points are also pins.
What I'm curious about at the moment (and there doesn't seem to be a part of this forum for terminology) is the word 'liner'. I've encountered it twice so far, in the phrases: 1) "canvas-wrapped liners" and 2) "a frame with a wide liner". What are these and are they the same thing? I think from what I've read it's different to lining a frame where you tape the inside edge... ( not 100% sure I'm right lining a frame is that).
Thanks in advance to any kind soul willing to shine a light.
