Split battens for framing..., by John The Badgers on Apr 19, 2021 10:52:27 GMT 1, Quick question, I'm trying to source some wooden split battens to hang a couple of pictures, need to be like this -
Has anyone any links to a UK source?
Thinking these profiles should be readily available, but cant for the life of me locate them via searches etc.
Thank you for any help.

I was thinking an 'on-line timber merchants', as you say, not eye surgery what I'm after, this what I'm struggling to locate. I'm sure a pretty standard item when you locate the right site?

Thanks Terryfuckwitt, did come across these on my searches, but the 2 items I am mounting, quite large, and there's one half of the split batten built into the framing -
Just want the other half to fasten to the wall. 10mm deep, with a 45 degree angle.

Best bet then is as proffesser said, either get your local timber/hardware store to cut you a piece or use a jigsaw and do it yourself.
