Raamistikku

Raamistikku (literally “frame stick”) is a slender rod or bar used to reinforce, align, or connect parts of a frame in carpentry, metalwork, and related crafts. The exact meaning depends on the field, but it typically refers to a small connector or support element that runs along or between frame members to improve stiffness or provide mounting points. In woodworking, raamistikku often takes the form of a narrow wooden strip placed inside or along the edge of a frame, helping retain square corners, reduce warping, and distribute loads. In metal or plastic assemblies, it may be a machined or extruded rod or tube used as a cross member or spacer.

Applications are broad: picture frames and door or window frames in carpentry, internal bracing in furniture
