where can i get blank wooden hounours boards?
Hi Guys,
I am looking for a supplier of blank boards. Nice framing, well made, cheap! (expectations a little high?)
Although i have a couple of carpenters that i use to make boards, it would be nice to not always pay for bespoke work and having a standard stock item may also help the client decide what they actually want!Curved and shaped tops always cause problems on framing etc but are less dull than the usual rectangle.
I know that Dave Kynaston makes some great wooden effect ones and i am looking forward to his meet in August.

Well made and reasonably priced would be a better phrase!

Have you thought about making them yourself. ??
I have done 3. Used 15-20mm veneered ply with to make the main boards from a 5mm MDF template which guided a hand router. I then glued and nailed edge beading round to frame and applied stain and 2 coats of varnish. Nothing too hard if you have the tools and a little wood working knowledge.

Although i have made some in past, i am not really set up for it. Square ones are fine but anything more decorative and it is probably cheaper for me to buy made. I have two round topped ones that need making ASAP and i will consider your DIY approach again. Thanks
