Colonial Connection--Colonial architectural ornament is a great way to add an aura of class and tradition to a room. Originally ornament was often made of carved wood, pressed wood, or plaster. All of these ornamental pieces were originally carved in wood. The wood carvings were used to construct molds, which are now cast in resin. Resin pieces can we worked with pretty much like wood . You can screw, glue, or nail and paint them. Once painted, you won't be able to tell the difference between them and wood. One added benefit to the resin pieces is flexibility. For example, you can curve a molding around a column or other architectural element. www.colonialconnection.com
