**A Frame’s Journey…From Bonanzawood to the Wall. **

There is perhaps nothing more satisfying than the creation of a product. What begins as sawdust is finely crafted to oftentimes hang in the most famous hotels and museums on earth, and indeed within countless private residences.

Over 5 decades, Framerica® has perfected the technology and design acumen necessary to transform its proprietary Bonanzawood® substrate into the most successful picture frame moulding ever produced. Hundreds of millions of feet have been manufactured, and millions upon millions of trees have been spared.

Let’s take a quick walk through how it all happens.

 

Step 1: It Starts with the Core**  
**Bonanzawood is exclusively sourced from strategically developed mills in North America to ensure the smoothest, most consistent surface possible. Its proprietary blend is consistent and eco-conscious, and its specialized formula guarantees durability. No warping. No knots. No surprises.

Step 2: Profiling with Precision**  
**Bonanzawood arrives in board form and is then ripped into strips. Precision moulders then shape it into the desired profile, anything from a sleek, modern flat to an intricate sloping reverse. Each profile is milled within microns so that joined frames align perfectly.

Step 3: That’s a Wrap**  
**Framerica invented profile wrapped picture frame molding 50 years ago. And we’ve come a long way. Using proprietary adhesives and exclusive decors, our state-of-the art, custom production lines marry the design to the shape with seamless precision.

Whether it’s a rich walnut woodgrain, a soft matte black, or a timeless leafed gold, each is suitable for the finest art or memories.

Step 4: Quality, Checked (and Checked Again)**  
**Every foot of moulding produced by Framerica is laser checked by intelligent cameras and inspected by human quality control specialists.

Step 5: From Factory Floor to Framed Perfection**  
**Once approved, each moulding is carefully packaged and shipped to our partners and customers. What started as recycled wood fiber is now ready to bring happiness to a wall near you.

The journey from Bonanzawood to masterpiece is complete — and it all happened right here, under one roof.
