Just realized I don't have any of profiles 22, 50 & 71.
Plenty of others, but I like these and am thinking of
getting some. For those of you who do have them,
any comments? I noticed in my Neilsen specifier there's
a typo saying 22 is 13/32" tall, when it looks like an inch
or more. When you design with it, how big do you feel
comfortable going? Any problems with front gaps? Thanks.
 
I have the 71 profile but rarely use them, I use the 95 profile more, but when I do use it I don't have any problems and can go quite large with them. I don't have the 22 profile and the 50 isn't in the 2012 specifier anymore.
 
I sell so little metal that I can't really comment. I just sold my first metal frame last week from the new gallery and we've been here nine months. Of course, I haven't brought over most of my metal samples from the old gallery yet.

I guess I'm just a wood snob.

:icon9:
 
Dave, you might at least stock the Nielsen Gilded line. Love 'em.
 
As mentioned, #50 is discontinued. Never had any problems using the others, although I have to say I rarely use them anymore. I think they feel dated. Sometimes you need that thickness capacity, but I guess I usually use wood in situations like that, unless metal is specifically requested. #117 will accommodate items stretched on a low-profile stretcher bar, and I think it looks more elegant than the older styles.
:cool: Rick
 
Only some of the gilded line was discontinued. Not everything. Something about the finishing company on some of the profiles went belly up
 
#22 is about as old as they get. Been around more than 30 years for canvas and is basically #11 deep enough for 1 1/4" canvas.

does that line exist anymore?

ish....

Some were disco'd, but others are still good. And we have
a couple regional suppliers with plenty of stock even on the
disco'd ones. That happens when everybody pulls their samples,
at the announcement, so if I really like a moulding, sometimes
it's still 'good' for me for a couple more years, by drawing from
their stock.

Jeff, that's what it looks like to me, and I really like the idea.
I love the 34 profile for it's narrow front look, but 22 is so
much sturdier and had somehow slipped by me.
