We’ve tried various places over the years with varying results, but switched to Mainline quite some time ago. Always superb service and on a Morso sharpening machine. Picked up and delivered back without problem and easy to book online or by phone. https://www.mainlinemouldings.com/index.php?DepartmentID=13 ...

... at all. My underpinner loves theses blades too. I’m not sure whether these not so good blades can be made better by proper sharpening. I now get MainLine to do the sharpening and am fairly happy with them.

... About the only option left would be to hand finish a bare wood moulding to suit, but not everyone wants to do that, so sorry, not that helpful! Mainline always used to carry a pretty good range of different coloured mouldings, so you might find something in their current range, which permits ...

Try MUNKEN from LION or Mainline
MUNKEN'S main feature is that its speck free

I have one internet framer (20 employees) in Germany who only uses MUNKEN. Nothing else

Mainline are the source for Polcore mouldings. I used to buy these, but I now only use wooden mouldings, so I have stopped doing this. Howeer, Mainline's range of finished wooden mouldings are very impressively finished. Pricewise ...

Mainline are very good and I have ordered mouldings from them. Their polcore range is good and in some cases unique in certain embossed type mouldings. They are my go to for Morso blade sharpening and my blades always come back in tip top form.

This is fantastic guys thank you very much. I will look at these businesses and see whats what.

As an aside, what are the members thoughts of Mainline as a supplier?

Thanks again.

... van delivery service inc glass. Otherwise you need to be considering (have I missed anyone?) Lion Larson Juhl D&J Simons Ashworth & Thompson Mainline Rose & Hollis Flagship Contact various companies, see if they will send a rep out to see you, and find out what they have to offer. Don't forget ...

... overall finished moulding suppliers in the UK? When I say best I mean service, price, range/choice etc overall. I got a few practice lengths from Mainline who seemed fine and the lengths arrived quickly and in good condition. What are your thoughts please? All the best James

... how best to go about getting a good clean cut The obeche A165 seems softer than I'm use to getting from R&H My morso blades were sharpened by Mainline about 6wks ago and seem ok on all other mouldings I'm using. All advise would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Debbie

... what I can expect to pay per meter. Is it always the case that I’d need to open a trade account to get the best deals? I live around 15 mins from mainline mouldings but their range isn’t the most expansive… I’m planning to re-introduce pre-made frames after having some time off making/selling ...

We get van deliveries from Centrado and Wessex which are never ever late. Fab service. We get courier deliveries from mainline, dj Simon’s, Lion & Larson Juhl. They mostly use either Tufnell or Dx and locally both of these companies are very reliable, I can’t remember the last missed ...

... for an exact match to an existing frame they have. It looks to be a polcore moulding. I've attached a few images they've sent. I've checked the Mainline site but nothing seems to match. Can anyone advise please - if it doesn't exist I don't mind but I thought I'd check it for them. The colour ...

Thanks for the reply's, I've looked around and majority seem to be laser engraved on the typical mdf paper based photo frame.
Anyone know a supplier for these mouldings I've searched high and low online and cannot find any with the normal suppliers like DJ and Mainline.

Thanks in advance

... really appreciate the response. I’ve ended up with polecore and wooden ones. Quite frankly I don’t know which to pick, I’m getting them from lion, mainline and Centrado. Are there easier ones to use as I could focus on selling those first maybe, is wood easier than polecore? On the small thin wooden ...

Mainline do a polcore one that looks very much like that. POL4875

... they do also offer a van delivery service. https://www.wessexpictures.com/bournemouth_branch.html Lion no longer offer a blade sharpening service. Mainline Mouldings do ours and they collect them and deliver them back via Royal Mail - all arranged online. https://mainlinemouldings.com/index.php?DepartmentID=13

Lion or Mainline Mouldings have done mine in the past.
