Project Information

These picture frames are made out of the roof boards of a 100 plus year abode carriage house that was on my property when I bought my 1896 house. The carriage house was past any type of restoration so we had to dismantle it, I salvaged all the lumber and gave away any adobe bricks that were still viable. My wife wanted something to display pictures down our hallway so with a couple of those old boards and some eye screws I came up with this design. I also made a rustic kitchen table out of the main header from the building, it was massive.

This is a wonderful reuse of wood that could have easily have ended up in a landfill or fireplace. The frames came out great and your system of hanging them saves a lot of spackling later when the wall need to be repainted.

This is a nice project.

Very, Very cool. I have made many of those and every one is just rewarding as the last. Especially when you can remember what the structure looked like before it came down… Nice Job…
