How to Order Picture Frame Moulding
Length: Length is sold as a random assortments of sticks that range from 4′ to 8′ long (up to 10′ in larger profiles), with a minimum order quantity of 20′. This cut is ideal when you have multiple frames to make, or want to have stock on hand for future orders.
Straight Cut Chop: This option gives you the opportunity to specify a frame size, and be assured that the pieces you receive will be exactly the size(s) you need, with matching color and grain.
Mitered Chop: Similar to the Straight Cut Chop, but we miter to the size specified, plus allowance (1/8″ is default on most profiles, but you can specify otherwise if desired). For easy assembly, you have the option of adding a Hoffmann Dovetail to Mitered Chops.
Chop and Join: We use the Hoffmann Dovetail system to join a raw or pre-finished Mitered Chop. Please note, additional packaging charges apply, and UPS costs are likely to be higher with this option.
Finished (Splined) Corner: Raw moulding is first mitered and joined, then slots are cut at a 45° angle in the outside corners and strips of wood called splines are inserted. Once the glue has dried the excess spline material is trimmed off, sanded smooth, and then the completed frame is topped with the finish of your choice.
