I made this frame to house a painted feather I had purchased as a christmas gift for my wife. I am still learning a lot and this is my first project that was designated for display.
The main portion of the frame is made with rosewood and the edge accents are lacewood. I finished it with three coats of General Finishes Arm-R-Seal Satin wiped on with a cloth and lightly sanded with 320 grit between coats.
The miters are not perfect but I am very happy with how it turned out. I apologize for the poor quality of the pictures and once I have it mounted on the wall I will try to take some better ones.

I appreciate all the nice comments not to mention all the inspiration I have found on this site. This isnt exactly my first project, just the first one that was not strictly utilitarian or shop related. I have built my work bench, a cabinet to put my drill press on, and some storage shelves for the basement. This is my first attempt at anything worth displaying and fortunately for me my wife loves it, which was the point.

I do a lot of custom picture frames and this is very well done. It is simple but elegant. It is important that the frame enhance the picture drawing people’s eye to the picture not the frame. You have done that very well.
