Glossary Of Picture Framing Terms

Obeche An African tropical tree, Obeche is a soft hardwood that is commonly used in making guitars, but has become quite popular for picture frame mouldings.
Slightly yellow in color, Obeche has an interlocking, medium-coarse grain and is quite easy to carve and stain. Considering it is generally imported (as plywood or veneer most commonly), it is a relatively inexpensive wood. |
