These are kind of Contemporary Mission Arts and Crafts frames that I have just finished. The walnut one with the maple inlay is for my daughter and son in-law for Christmas. The one constructed of Maple with the walnut inlay is for my wife for her birthday. The third picture is of both of them before the finish of lacquer was applied.
I had asked earlier about needing to cut 1/8” x 1/8” strips and how would be the best way to go about doing that and with the responses that I received I was able to get these completed. For these I used the method of clamping a feather board to the table of the table saw and moving the fence over after each strip was cut. I am still planning on making a jig for this purpose. Thanks to all who answered my question about cutting the strips.

Thanks Scott, I too like to use contrasting woods. Walnut and Maple seem to really do well together…

I just “favorited” these – I’m inspired to go make some like this. Much less boring than regular mitered frames. What is the joinery at the corners?
