Laminated wood frame

[AndersMalmgren]

Everything is better in Östermalm, unfortunately there is no lumberyard here :/

Sounds like you've gotten your hands on regular 2t4 (45*95). Even though 2t4 is a godsend to us form carpenters 😜, it's never dried or of the quality to make frames out of. Call a smaller carpentry shop and they'll sort it out.

When I build a frame, I buy planed pine such as 22x95 and 22x45 and glue these together. With these two dimensions, I get a frame piece that is 44mm thick, 95mm deep, and has a rebate of 50mm. It turns out straight and fine, and no routers or special tools are needed.

In the worst case, it's easy to make it yourself from planed 22x45 lumber.

There's so much fine dust from milling so much wood though, so I'd really like to avoid it.

Holms trä in Kungens Kurva sells frame materials in laminated wood. Use them all the time. Works well.

What are you going to mill? Glue two pieces of wood together... done!

 

[AndersMalmgren]

You have to mill rounding if it should fit in style, but of course, it's not as much material as milling the entire rebate depth, thanks for all the tips, I'll look into this today.

It would be a dream to find "ready" frame pieces by the meter, and then you could mill the last bit yourself if you want some traditional milling, angle milling, or similar. The biggest "problem" is the rabbet milling with just a handheld router. You almost need a router table and preferably a larger spindle that can handle bigger router bits...

You don't have a contact person there? Called and it was only large orders of about 2000 meters etc.

Right now, @verktygsgurun's method feels best, because with that solution you can fine-tune the depth of cut and you don't need to mill away large amounts of material, which creates dust.

Hi. Please link

planed pine? You can buy it in quite a few places, I have bought planed oak for a threshold and it was really straight, so it's probably possible to find planed pine that is also straight and doesn't warp.

Yes, but do you mean gluing/screwing two pieces together?

 

[AndersMalmgren]

Yes exactly, and also rounds off edges so there is some work, but I actually think it's easier than trying to straighten warped frame wood
