Identifying a frame

Post by FandLframes »

Trying to source the supplier of this moulding used for a box frame to put baby hand and feet castings into.
The molding depth is 54mm and the width is 10mm its bare wood with a rebate.
Any suggestions please.

Is there a rebate on the bottom as well as the top?
That appears to be a raw timber "extender". It can be made in any woodworking shop with the simplest of tools, a hand saw and a plane.
A table saw can cut basic wood to width needed as well as the rebate. The mitered ends can be cut with the same saw or a dedicated miter saw.

No only rebate on one side. we do make similar versions but wondered if there was an option to buy a ready made length of these to create boxes for newborn casts etc

I have found them are very good and min order only 100ft. Quick turn around.

The profile is simple and won't need special knives to be made. :D

It could be that the width is 54mm and the depth is 10mm - but it’s mitred on its side.
