Arts & Crafts Mission Framed Tiles

Project by Max posted 789 days ago 671 views 3 times favorited 11 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Here, again, is another frame that I made to house 2 swan tiles. This was made at the request of the person that makes these tiles, Ravenstone Tiles by Laura Reutter. I purchase tiles from her to frame for a furniture store here in Salt Lake City. These are two of her new tiles that she wanted a simple frame for. The frame is constructed of Quarter Sawn White Oak (of course). Mortise and tennon joinery, with walnut pegs. The finish is a three-part process, water based dye with a oil stain over top and a lacquer finish.
Thank you for looking.

Mike,
Thank you for the kind words, it is quite heavy for its size….

Beautiful frame Max. I agree with Tom that the finish turned out great also.

Thank you all so very much for the kind words…. This is the finish that I use on most of the Mission Arts and Crafts items that I make…. I seems to work well.

I like the finish as well. I’ve been thinking of doing some Mission Style pieces. Is it an easier alternative to fuming? I’d be interested in your recipe if it isn’t a secret. I’m sure if you put it on LJ that nobody but me would pay any attention to it, ha ha.

Hi Max

These Ravenstone tiles are great! Being a cabinet builder I can see using them in the Mission Style furniture and gun cabinets I build. I went to their web sight and now have it in my favorites.

Thanks for the info and welcome.
