Lenkiewicz generally had mouldings made up to his own design by a local joiner. These were produced in abundant lengths which were then mitred and assembled at the studio by Billy (surname?).
Various profiles were used over the years, generally getting wider and wider over time. Lenkiewicz would draw the desired profile on paper, the joiner would then recreate that shape in steel for use in his tooling machinery.
They were usually made from tulip wood and had a satin black finish.
Lenkiewicz is said to have liked the way the light caught the grooves, and liked the way the heavy blackness cut the picture off from its environment.
