Is it necessary to call a cabinetmaker for oiling the decorative wood trim moulding?

All decorative wood trim mouldings in our selection are easy to finish at home, so there is no need to rely on a cabinetmaker's expertise for oiling. After dusting the molding, shake the oil and apply it evenly over the entire surface of the egg and dart molding with a clean, dry cloth. It is recommended to leave the oil on for a few minutes to allow the surface to absorb it. As a final step, use a clean, dry cloth to wipe off any excess oil from the molding. The recommended drying time is 24 hours.

How should the trim moldings be fixed?

Trim moldings can generally be fixed in two ways: by gluing or nailing. If you choose to glue, we recommend using wood adhesive. If you prefer nailing, it is best to use small brads or panel pins, as their thin size prevents the wood from splitting. To ensure a seamless and aesthetic finish, cover the nail heads with wood filler. Whichever method you choose to fix the trim moldings, make sure the pieces are aligned straight and fit closely to the surface.

The origin of the egg and dart motif in decoration

The eye motif symbolizes protection and awareness, and in traditional decorative art it was used to ward off negative influences. In woodworking, the motif is inspired by the natural wood grain, where the 'eyes' symbolize the life and strength of the tree. In furniture decoration, this motif is commonly seen on cabinets, dressers, bed frames, or door frames, adding refined rhythm and elegance to the surface. It is a popular choice as it harmoniously blends traditional and modern aesthetics. Thus, the egg and dart molding carries a piece of history while enhancing the natural beauty of furniture.
