Bands of crisp ripple broken by quiet, plain stretches across a face of about 21/32": a lively skip pattern in the Dutch Golden Age tradition, knife-scraped in solid hardwood.
Ripple molding #129-44 is about 21/32" wide and nearly 3/4" high. Choose maple, cherry, or walnut below. Each stick is 5 feet long.
The profile
The ripple runs through the whole profile in bands, with plain stretches between them; within each band the crests are about 5/16" apart and about 1/16" deep. The pauses give the molding a measured, staccato rhythm that sets it apart from a steady ripple. It runs in an organic cadence: a steady rhythm, each wave a little different in length and depth, like hand-made period frames.
Ways to use it
- As the sight-edge molding of a Dutch-style frame, mitered and applied to a base frame
- As a cap or liner, or paired with other ripple profiles to build up a wider frame
- On mirrors, panels, boxes, and casework that call for an antique look
