Hardwood mouldings

[Simpo Two]

I'm having trouble finding hardwood (ie dark/mahogany-flavour) mouldings to complete a display case I'm making. Most of the stuff in shops is pine (and stained pine always looks like stained pine). I need a Roman ogee for the base and small birdsmouth or plain 'L' for the rest - any ideas please?

Have a look at Cheshire Mouldlings,they may have something. They won't sell direct though.

Plenty of mahogany furniture around on the used market, maybe a good source for the timber and use of a router. Dark used furniture is very inexpensive at the moment.

any joiners shop would be able to run you some,these are basic moulds that most workshops have in stock or will machine you some,or try dresser mouldings they supply a lot of joinery companys

Could you post a sketch of the profile you want.

Years a go it wasn't a problem to make bespoke mouldings in house, those days are sadly long gone since H&E put their oar in. Now it's prohibitive expensive for a short run, unless you either are happy with a 'standard' profile or require zillions of metres of it.

Thanks all; I found the RB site but their hardwood range is very limited.

Agree that one-off spindle moulding is going to cost £££.

I can make simple profiles here so might give it a go.

Wonder if framing suppliers would do? I had a small display case made by a pro about 15 years ago and that had a picture-frame base and small birdsmouth hardwood edges.
