Max, I really like the framed tiles you’ve made. Very nice choice of Christmas gifts…can’t buy those at the mall (or can you? :-) What is the black medium behind your tiles? Wood? Nice work!

Very nice! I like the one with Quarter Sawn White Oak with walnut pegged mortise’s the best. Great job.

I like the oak one best too. Especially like the way the tile is suspended in the center . Good color stain and figure selection.

Thank you all for your kind comments.

What is the black medium behind your tiles? Wood? Joes question.
It is a piece of 1/4” Baltic birch ply painted flat black.

Oak is the one I like best also. But then, like Dan, I am partial to quarter sawn oak….

You and Dan just need to quit. Max, those are beautiful. I love that frame. And honestly don’t quit I want the two of you to keep showing me the way to do it right.

Ron and RonH,
Thank you two for the nice words. I don’t think I or Dan will be quiting anytime soon.
