finish nail
Small headless fastener
A finish nail is a thin wire nail with a small, barrel-shaped head designed to be driven below the wood surface and concealed with putty or wood filler.
These nails are used in fine carpentry and trim work where appearance matters—installing molding, baseboards, door casings, and cabinetry.
The small head leaves a minimal hole that's easily hidden, giving completed work a clean, professional look.
He used finish nails to attach the crown molding.
