Thats my granddaughter, LeAnne,posing in this frame I made for my daughter.This frame utilizes the spline- border idea that I came up with a few years ago. Pretty simple really.Photo #2 shows the Mahogany spline joining the rail and stile,but it also frames the photo.The diagonal corner inlays are 1/4” kerfs cut on the tablesaw with contrasting strips of Maple inserted.The picture is held in with toggles made from scraps and the support is a piece of 3/8” square stock that fits loose in a hole punched in the back with the mortiser.These details are shown in the Mahogany frame I posted recently.
These are great gifts….everyone wants to show off the kids.

I like the way you have brought the “inner” detail to the “outer” edge with the mahogany splines.
Nice figure on the wood too!
