Classic Hanging Rail for Period Interiors

Add timeless elegance and functional charm to your interior trim work with this traditional picture molding profile knife. Designed to mill a refined ledge along upper walls, this profile offers a non-invasive solution for hanging framed art while enhancing the architectural appeal of a room.

Cutting Sequence Tip

This picture molding profile requires two precise cuts to achieve its full detail. Start with Step 1, which shapes most of the radius. Then follow with Step 2, which completes the molding’s refined edge for a finished, professional look.
