Grumbler in Training
We've all heared stories about the quality of Picture frame mouldings, from warped, scratched, dinted, & uneven stain colours.
My grumble is about the quality of the moulding on the INSIDE. On the outside a flaw cannot be detected, but once you start cutting it, it becomes soft, mushy, and it almost seems like its made out of rotting timber. It can happed in the middle of the moulding lengths or at the end, but wherever the bad moulding is, it seems you have to waste half the length until the bad bits are chopped out. Unfortunatley by this time all you've managed to do is add to your pile of shavings, so there goes any credit from your suppliers.
I don't know about you other framers out there, but we find this to be a growing problem, and the problem is not with just one supplier, it is across the board. I understand this may not be a supplier issue but instead a manufacturing issue.
How often does it happen to all you hard working, long suffering framing folks.
Go on, vent your frustations. Tell me I'm not alone here.
