ditto from me - really goes against the grain.
Couple of thoughts, we had a successful/profitable framing shop/gallery for around thirty years and I appreciate this has been debated before but, we always worked/made frames in "batches" and found waste was kept to a minimum that way. Not only moulding but also glass, mount card and backing.
At the end of each day and just before clearing up the workshop, left over moulding was knocked up into rims for RMF or the "framed second" box. I did have the advantage of living above the shop.
Also, are you adding enough wastage factor in your pricing, 30% seems the norm these days. That way any money realised from left overs helps the bottom lone.
FWIW I love James's suggestion - never thought of that
