Creative

Heritage Picture Frames

Mill classic triple-bead profiles along inner and outer frame edges for depth and shadow lines. Pair with contrasting liners or a subtle gilded wash to accentuate the beads. Use the bearing to run clean along a template so each mitered corner aligns with continuous bead detail.


Beaded-Edge Cutting Boards & Trays

Glue up end-grain or edge-grain boards, then add a refined triple-bead around the perimeter for a comfortable handhold and premium look. Use hardwoods like maple/walnut for contrast and finish with a food-safe oil; the smooth radius reduces post-routing sanding.


Jewelry/Keepsake Box with Beaded Lid

Build a small box and profile the lid and base with the multi-bead for a classic, furniture-grade reveal. Add a shallow bead around the inner tray top to echo the lid motif, and line with suede or felt to elevate the presentation.


Custom Chair Rail and Wainscot Cap

Create a layered chair rail by combining the triple-bead as a top detail over a simple cove or flat stock. Match the profile around rooms for cohesive millwork, and use the bearing to follow long edges consistently without complex fence setups.


Beaded Shelves and Floating Ledges

Edge floating shelves or narrow ledges with the triple-bead to make simple wall storage feel bespoke. The radiused profile softens the touch and visually thins the shelf edge; paint or stain to contrast walls.
