Standard Profiles
My range of standard, contemporary profiles are made from solid Tasmanian Oak and can be tailored to suit any requirements with my unique custom finishes using stains, paints and polishes along with traditional techniques such as liming and ebonizing. The samples below are all natural timber finished with pure beeswax.
Custom Profiles
I also offer a wide range of custom profiles in an array of traditional and contemporary styles. These unique mouldings are made to order and hand-crafted from either Tasmanian Oak, or any timber you desire.
My mouldings are created with vintage hand-planes, meaning traditional design elements such as beads, flutes, ovolos and cavettos can be combined in any arrangement to create an endless array of distinct but timeless styles suitable for picture frames, mirrors, or cabinetry. Because the principles and language involved in the composition of traditional mouldings, being an inheritance from the ancient world, can be somewhat arcane at times, I'm more than happy to talk you through the process, or you can choose from a range of my own designs.
I also offer a chop service for other framers and hobbyists, producing pre-mitred lengths to size. Please note that since my mouldings are created to order, a lead time of at least two weeks, or more in the case of exotic timbers, is required. Feel free to contact me for more information or a free quote.
