Term Definition
RabbetThe rabbet is the recess on the back inside edge of the frame, into which the artwork fits. For most framing projects, any rabbet size is fine but when you are framing a very thick piece (like a canvas), be sure to choose one with a rabbet that will accommodate the thickness of the piece.
