I am trying to buy moulding to make my own picture frames but am having no luck. I have been able to find that CountryArtHouse does do what I want but have been unable to find a way to contact them.
If anyone know where to buy picture frame moulding please let me know.

Check Amazon. They have pre-finished molding, but not cheap. Also some woodworking supply companies sell picture frame finished molding. If you have a woodworking shop, you can make your own, or you can buy it unfinished from lumber supply companies and finish it yourself.

Google is a better place to look than here.

Try Hobby Lobby or a similar type of store. Maybe Lowes or Home Depot.

Try Michael's Craft Stores. Saw framing there on a recent visit.

Thanks. I have already tried Hobby Lobby and rheir prices are higher than I want to spend and they do not sell the moulding to make frames.
Checked out the local Lowes nothing there.

Thanks but I don't think we have one nearby and I want the raw materials to make the frame.

That link may have solved the problem so far I have checked out three of the companies: One sells pre made frames the second is in Australia, the third, https://framing4yourself.com, looks like it will fit the bill.
Thank you.

Dimensional lumber just refers to lumber cut to standard sizes.

If you have a miter saw and router, the local lumber yard is an excellent place. I make all my own frames and can be creative with crown and base molding.

I think of dimensional lumber as 2x4", 1x6", etc., as opposed to the length of the board.

I could be wrong.

I see they even have instructions, if needed.

Have Fun!!!
