The Framers Forum

Hello

When I first saw this frame that a client wants matching I thought it would be a doddle, but it seems I am wrong! It's a small, pine reverse moulding but with a very distinctive simple curve into a small vertical face (about 9mm) on its outer edge. I've tried the usual suspects, Lion, Arqadia, DJS, Wessex, A&T, Mainline, Neilsen, R&H, Centrado, Midas, Byron, Frinton, and Radius, but without any luck. Have I missed out anyone? or have I just looked and not seen?

Any help appreciated.

Hard to tell but it could be custom-finished.

Yes, roboframer, it is, I can do the finishing, it's the moulding I'm after, sorry should have made it clearer.

i bought something like that from simons, havent got catalog handy to give you the number though

it a silver leaf type finish,

It looks like a Midas moulding that Euro Mouldings used to do. Rrinton now use Midas mouldings but I can't (quickly) see it on their website - have a butchers, you never know. http://www.frintonmouldings.com/index_html

It looks very much like an Aqadia one that I used to get. But as they are want to do with really useful mouldings, they discontinued it.

Simons OBEC/0016 is probably the nearest.

It's Simons AM / 0003, (scorched pine), discontinued a few years ago. I liked the shape and made up various handfinished chevrons and I had thought it should appeal to my customers, but I did not get many orders for it.

Thanks so much for your help guys, looks like I 'll have to dust off my rabbet planes then
