Small picture frames

They look great! Those lap joints look a lot easier than squaring up and fitting those pesty miter joints ;-))

I have used the Pterocarpus Indicus extensively,,,, nice to work.. and it looks similar to the P. Angolensis…
P. Indicus is known as New Guinea Rosewood.

BTW nice job on the frames..

I thought it was just me having a tough time lining those lap joints up. :) I’ll use the wood again… was easy to work with. I’ve seen the New Guinea Rosewood at the lumber yard. Also very beautiful.

Cool idea for a different style of pic frames! Nice work.

Hannes, these are nice frames and I like your design and wood choice. My wife has several pictures that she has patiently waited for me to frame (along with several other projects, as well). I have never considered using half lap joinery for frames but this post certainly shows what an interesting look it gives.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Those look great. I really like the little bevel where the pieces meet, it really sets it off.

I like the wrap around effect. Well done.

Great job on the frames. Never thought of using lap joints makes them rather unique.

Looks great Hannes
