Here are three frames that I have made recently. One of them is made of Walnut with mortise and tennon joints with Lace Wood butterfly inlay dutchman at each intersection. This is both decorative as well as functional. The needle point is something my oldest daughter made for us. One of the frames (one with the May Queen Centre Panel Print) is crafted from
Walnut with mortise and tennon joints that have been pegged with Hard Rock Maple. The third frame (one with the Acorn Print) is crafted from Quarter Sawn White Oak with mortise and tennon joints pegged with Walnut. I make the frames out of Quarter Sawn Oak for a local furniture store and mount the prints in them also.
My niece (Lori, alias OspreyBait of Lumberjocks) told me I needed to post some of my frames. These are not near as detailed as a lot of the work that is posted on lumberjocks but rather has the simple lines of the Arts and Crafts Style. As you can tell one of them has a great reflection of me taking the picture…....

Don’t sell yourself short. Simple is deceptively hard to pull off (well).

Absolutely beautiful. The butterfly dutchmen really set off the frame and the use of the contrasting pegs work great also. Oh yeah and the primary wood is sharp too!!

Very nice they don’t distract from the contents of the frame but they amplify the picture.
Very good.

these are gorgeous!! I love the simple lines and I agree with Karson—adds to the beauty of the contents rather than taking your eye away from the object.

Oh my. I have to tell you, simple and well stated is VERY appealing. I think that many get carried away with excessive use of detail and contrasting woods. These are really nice frames. It sometimes amazes me how such wonderful craftsman can go through so much trouble to make a piece of furniture look so ugly. These frames are very appealing. Thanks for posting them!
