More Picture Frames

Post by berry »

While I was fiddle-farting around trying to decide how to work with the barn wood picture frames I made a 3 others for family members. I know picture frames are pretty boring but maybe someone will have an interest.

I have 3 pics of each: the profile, the overall view and a detail of the corners. The miters were all cut on the SS and rabbet’s cut on router table.

The first one is poplar made with cut-offs from my vanity project. The black paint is just latex and the gold an acrylic. The profile was made at the router table.

The second is a stock molding from HD all I cut was the rabbit. The finish is blond shellac.

The third and fourth (they are identical) and I don’t remember what the wood is from, it’s pine. The bevel was cut on the SS and the cove on a router table. (The pics are of downtown Minneapolis, last winter, taken from a drone.) The finish is GF Java stain and 3 coats of Minwax poly brushed on.
