One of 8 frames that I am making to display my sister-n-laws photos on our living room wall. The frame is Osage Orange (bodark), and the splines are cherry. It’s finished with 2 coats of dewaxed shellac and 2 coats of Arm-R-Seal (which is my new favorite finish by the way!). These are a little bit of a pain as I don’t have a planer for thicknessing and they tended to twist once I resawed them from the boards on the table saw. I got the wood from Bell Forest products, and was very happy with them! (www.bellforestproducts.com)

Love the cherry in the mitres… i will give this ago myself soon. Any tips? I assume if you get the frame mitres perfect without cherry insert first, then you can just slip the insert into the mitre providing the insert thickness is perfectly identical for all 4 mitres?
Cheers

Very good frames are hard to do accurately and get all 4 corners to match. Nice.
