Technical details of the SK-627 wooden onlay
The carving is available in several sizes, with widths ranging from 13.3 cm to 32.4 cm, heights from 7 cm to 14.9 cm, and thickness ranging from 0.8 cm to 1 cm. Its size tolerance is plus or minus 3%. The plant ornamentation is decorated with an acanthus leaves pattern, and scroll lines can also be found on it. The material of the carving is exotic wood, which in this case is rubberwood. Rubberwood is a sustainable timber sourced as a by-product from rubber plantations, making it an excellent ecological choice. Its light, uniform color and even grain make it especially suitable for creating detailed decorations and it is compatible with all types of finishing. In wood carvings, its medium hardness provides an ideal balance between workability and durability. This product is unfinished.
Why choose a wood corner molding?
The wooden onlay comes sanded, allowing you to paint or lacquer it immediately. The carved acanthus leaves pattern remains visible even after painting. The ornament is symmetrical and fits accurately to the corners of furniture. It allows cabinetmaker to achieve precise workmanship. They are available in several sizes to ensure everyone finds the suitable ornament for their needs.
Surface finishing of the wood corner molding
Our carved wood cabinetmaker products are sold in a natural, unfinished state, making them easy to match any existing style. After proper preparation, dust removal and priming, the ornaments can be stained, oiled, or painted in the desired color. If preserving the wood grain is the goal, we recommend finishing with lacquer or using indoor furniture oil. Apply evenly with a brush or a clean cloth, and then wipe off any excess. For existing furniture, painting the wood corner molding to match the overall color can highlight the carving’s pattern.

Why is cabinet refurbish at home worthwhile?
Repair by a cabinetmaker often comes with high costs, while there is also a more affordable alternative. Naturtrend’s pre-made wooden onlays and ornaments can easily be installed at home. Cabinet refurbish at home is thus an economical and feasible solution, requiring no special expertise. Wooden onlay elements make it easy to refurbish old furniture and restore it to its original state. The process is environmentally friendly, since restoration is done by reusing existing materials. With acanthus leaves pattern and palmetta decorated elements, you can create unique, custom-style cabinets at home as well.
How can the wood corner molding be repaired in case of damage?
The carvings are made of solid wood, ensuring high quality. Since these are separate pieces, you don’t need to repair the entire furniture, just replace or fix the specific ornament. Small cracks and wood defects can be easily fixed with wood filler, which is available in several shades. When attached with woodworking glue, the risk of damaging the wooden onlay is minimal. By treating the surface of the wood ornaments, minor imperfections and faults can be concealed.
The origin and application of the palmetta motif
The palmetta motif originates from the ancient Middle East and represents a stylized palm leaf. It appeared in Greek and Roman architecture, mainly as ornamentation on friezes, capitals, and decorative moldings. In the 18th and 19th centuries, cabinetmaker masters often combined acanthus leaves pattern and palmetta elements on furniture to achieve richer decoration. During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the palm leaf motif persisted on carved furniture and church furnishings as a symbol of renewal and life. This motif was also used in Baroque and Classicist wooden onlay decorations, mainly as a closure on pediments and ornaments. It remains popular today as it suits both classic and modern cabinet refurbish projects.
