Hey, all.
I'm teaching myself how to build picture frames, cut matting, cut glass, all that jazz, so I don't have to rely on retailers with high markup.
At this point, the only thing I've found that really works for me is standard 1" moulding from Home Depot. There's no rabbet in there, so I need to line it with small blocks to position the glass and matting in the frame so it's near the inside edge, and to receive the glazing points I use to secure all the layers of backing and matting and such.
I'd love to find a supplier of stock I could use for this endeavor, but I'd want stock that has the 1/8" rabbet, but is still not fully finished material - I'd want to stain/paint it and finish it myself.
So far, I've struck out completely in securing such stuff.
Does anyone know where I might find some variety of unfinished frame moulding that I can buy by the foot?
I'm in Canada, fwiw. ;-)
Thanks!
