Plates 10 products

Cornice

For 3" to 6" timbers

The Cornice collection is a line of plates suitable for 3 1/2"-6" lumber. The uniform 3" spoke widths leave an elegant 1/4" wood reveal around the plates on 4" dimensional lumber. The long, narrow spokes and chamfered ends add a decorative touch that will take your project to the next level.
