Moulding ID please

[DaveJ]

Hi all does anyone rcognise this please: Its 25mm across the front including the bevel and 37/38 mm deep. white on brown driftwood type and a cream lip on the inside, Thank you, Dave J.

Is that a cream lip or is it unfinished timber? It looks like cheap white pine from a builders merchant to me, that has been cut down and distressed.

At first I thought this was just a mass produced factory moulding but on closer look, there is a slight build up of finish on the mitre joints and overall the finish is quite 'raggedy'.
This would suggest that the moulding could be a hand finished product.

The closest I would think to get to that would be to shot-blast some base wood, stain it dark and then rub on some liming wax with a little dark wax added.
Once dry, wipe off to create the finished effect

I’m sure I had this on my sample display and the whole range it was from - or very similar and there is plenty very similar around - probably called “driftwood” or something.

I wouldn’t say it was just mass produced either - that sounds a bit derogatory. Contract stuff, which generally isn’t very nice.

“Pre-finished” is better - and after all, if it looks like it could be hand finished (it’s not). it can’t be that bad!

I still think its hand-finished.

Look at the first photo. The outside wall mitre edge looks to be showing raw wood.
And there's that build up of creamy finish along the mitre joint.

I suggested shot blasting some timber earlier.
A better idea would be to wire brush a length of bare wood oak.

Which of course is no help whatsoever to the original op.
Surely there are some 'driftwood' mouldings in someone's catalogue.

Cream lip but looks a bit unfinished underneath.

You could be right the finish is quite rough in place and yes some filler in the joins!

It looks like a wessex type moulding but can't see it.

Thanks all, possibly hand finished hadn't thought of that! Looks like a Wessex type moulding but can't find it, Oh well! Thanks for your input, DJ.
