If opting for a complete refurbish, it is advisable to sand back the entire surface to bare wood, starting with coarse sanding tools and progressing to finer grit. For gluing, you only need wood glue (D2, D3) and some weights or clamps. Apply a thin, even layer of glue to both surfaces (the back of the carving and the receiving surface), then position the piece where desired. Clamp the pieces during drying and carefully remove any small glue drops that may appear with a slightly damp cloth. Although glue dries transparent, once hardened it is difficult to remove, and paint or stain may not adhere well, resulting in incomplete coverage. The full drying time is typically 24 hours.
If gluing is not suitable, the carving can also be mounted mechanically. For this task, small nails or brads are recommended, as they are less visible and do not damage the wood. It's important to insert nails into pre-drilled holes to prevent the wood from splitting. The heads can be countersunk below the wood surface, allowing for an easier and more aesthetic coverage later with wood filler. This method provides a secure and lasting way to fix the molding.
Finishing is the final step. Although many are hesitant, this process is not complicated. Painting, staining, oiling or varnishing can all bring beautiful results. Painting covers the wood grain, while other methods emphasize it. For enthusiastic amateurs, a combination of stain and silk-gloss varnish is recommended. With these, simply ensure that a nice, thin, even layer is applied. To achieve the desired effect, it's advisable to apply two or three thin layers.
The wood corner molding appeared in both architecture and furniture as early as the Renaissance, primarily as finishing elements for door and window frames. Decorative wood mouldings allow for detailed yet functional decoration. In the 18th and 19th centuries, fine woodworking masters often used such corner decorations to unite the furniture structure. To this day, they are a frequent choice for window decoration, as they are both visually appealing and provide structural stability.
