Is it necessary to finish the moulding during furniture making, and if so, what do you recommend?
Furniture making is essentially a creative process, so the method of finishing always depends on the maker's decision. However, it is worth finishing the wooden trim mouldings, since the customer receives them raw and untreated. This is recommended not only for aesthetic reasons but also because finishing protects the wood and helps the mouldings maintain their beauty and durability over time. Some finishing options include oiling, glazing, staining, or painting. Oiling and glazing highlight the natural grain of the wood, staining gives it a subtle, natural color, while painting can completely cover the pattern if a non-natural look is desired. Whichever method you choose, finished mouldings and door mouldings will be much more durable and aesthetically pleasing than untreated surfaces.
Is it necessary to call a furniture maker to install the door moulding?
One of the advantages of our mouldings is that they can be easily attached at home, so it is not necessary to call a furniture maker. They can be fixed in two ways: with nails or with adhesive. For adhesion, we recommend using carpentry glue. For nailing, it is advisable to use small wire nails or panel pins as they are thin and do not split the wood. To achieve an even and smooth surface, it is recommended to cover the nail heads with wood filler.
The timeless pattern of the dentil moulding
The dentil pattern is a classic element of carved trim mouldings, consisting of repeating rectangular blocks resembling teeth. This motif originates from ancient Greek and Roman architecture, especially used in the Ionic and Corinthian orders, where it decorated cornices. Dentil mouldings are often used as complementary elements on larger cornices and crown mouldings, alongside patterns like acanthus leaves or egg-and-dart motifs. The dentil pattern brings refined, clean lines to furniture and can add elegance even to simpler pieces without becoming ostentatious.
