This solid walnut wood frame features a rich, light-medium brown color with darker variations where the wood’s growth rings appear—plus ever-so-slight undertones of honey. Exhibiting a texture both smooth to the touch and indicative of the wood’s beautiful innate grains, the finished natural walnut reveals character, strength and an organic appeal.
Its 2-inch rabbet depth makes this moulding particularly ideal for works on canvas and shadow box projects.
As you design, keep in mind that these are natural walnut frames with a clear, water based finish, featuring a great variability both in texture and color, just like the tree itself. No two frames are alike - texture and color may vary within a single frame itself. If consistency in color is important to you, try our 208 Dark Walnut.
American Frame gives this extra-deep frame additional reinforcement for longevity and integrity of our product. We not only glue and v-nail each corner and at the sides, but we also nail and then putty each corner to minimize the visibility of this reinforcement.
