Furniture making is a meticulous process, but why not speed it up with pre-made decorative wood mouldings? Finished wood carvings work as a perfect solution, as they save both time and money. In cabinetmaker projects, these can be used as end pieces, corinthian capital, or for other decorative purposes, such as ornaments for doors, windows, or cabinets.
This carving's width ranges from 4 cm to 14.2 cm, its height from 10 cm to 30 cm, and its thickness from 3.5 cm to 6 cm. Measurement tolerance is plus or minus 3%. The most distinctive feature of the wood ornament's pattern is the acanthus leaves pattern. This corinthian capital is made of beech wood. Beech is one of the most popular European hardwoods and is excellent for creating intricate carvings. Its natural color is pinkish-brown, which becomes even more beautiful over time, and looks especially attractive with an oiled or waxed finish. It can be ordered without a surface finish.

Another advantage is that a single design is available in multiple sizes, so they can be combined.
A simple wood glue is recommended for attaching wood decorative elements. Before gluing, the receiving surface should be lightly sanded; the decorations do not need sanding as they are shipped pre-sanded. For a durable result, ensure the surface is free of dust and grease. Next, apply a thin, even coat of wood glue to both prepared surfaces, then carefully join the two pieces. During drying, press them together with a clamp or weight. If glue seeps out on the sides, just wipe it off with a damp cloth. It is recommended to wait the suggested 24 hours for drying.
Yes, carved wood mouldings are excellent for oil finishing. Traditional wood oil is ideal for this purpose. After thoroughly shaking, use a clean cloth to apply the oil across the entire surface of the ornament. Let it sit for a few minutes, so the wood can absorb the oil, which highlights the grain. Finally, use another clean and dry cloth to wipe off the excess, preventing possible runs. The treated surface dries in about a day.
The acanthus leaves pattern is one of the oldest and most significant decorative motifs in Western culture. It has been used in art and architecture for thousands of years. Because the plant is extremely resilient and regenerates quickly, its primary meaning is eternal life, rebirth, and unconquerable vitality. On wood mouldings and carvings, the acanthus leaves pattern adds classic elegance.
The Corinthian column is one of the most ornate forms of classical architecture and is often used as a decorative wood moulding. Its most distinctive feature is the richly carved corinthian capital, adorned with acanthus leaves pattern and spiral motifs. Cabinetmaker frequently use it for decorating cabinets, tables, or bed frames. This form is especially prominent on classicist and neo-renaissance furniture. Thus, the Corinthian column symbolizes nobility and refined aesthetics.
