Many of our Baroque frame models are made using wood pulp decorations. Wood pulp is a wood-derived product. It is produced industrially by mixing wood dust with a small percentage of solvent.

This innovative mix, allows one to create a material that looks very similar to wood, especially when dry. See in the video how the operator pastes the decorations of the frame in the appropriate spaces.

Since wood pulp retains the same properties as wood, decorations can be fixed with carpentry glue and nails, just as if they were made of wood.

Note how the operator, after taking the necessary measurements and having prepared the various decorations to be arranged in order, according to the logic of moldings, spreads glue on the back of each decoration and then fixes it to this Baroque-style picture frame model. See also how the excess glue is removed with a brush.

What you see is an innovative technology because it turns out to be the right compromise between the use of new materials and new techniques that make work easier. Basically, wood pulp is used to make long-lasting products of the highest quality but at the same time at a very affordable price.

Being a material that can be carved, it is possible to proceed with the refreshment of each of the carvings applied on the profile of the frame. In other words, a further carving process can be executed. That would improve the shape of the carving and would eliminate any imperfections.

In conclusion, a Baroque picture frame like this is very little different from one carved entirely by hand. Obviously, what really changes, is the final cost of the frame. Made of wood pulp, it generally costs just an affordable price.
