A Plethora of Picture Frames

Nice, I may have to copy that technique.

And sucking up to family members always pays back rewards.
Good for you, and congrats to your Bro.

Gul,

You basically use the same technique one would use to cut splines into the side of a frame or box, but you continue all the way to the edge. This will cut a perfectly triangular wedge out of all four corners, which you then glue in a tiny-bit over-sized piece of contrasting wood. Once the glue dries, you just sand it flush.

There are a bunch of spline jigs on LJ’s to pick from, but the jig basically holds the piece over the blade on a 45 degree angle and you push it through the blade.

Here is a perfect example of a spline jig. is a perfect example of a spline jig.

Good luck!

Here is also an earlier frame I’ve made using this feature. The pictures are much clearer as to the detail of the spline:
