My first picture frame My first picture frame My first picture frame Click the pictures to enlarge them

This is my first project. I built it in Blake's shop with his help. Its made from purple heart and maple laminated together and then mitered with keys. I didn’t plan on the shape being so long and skinny but that’s how it came out. Then I went into a photo booth with my brother and sister and got pictures taken that fit the frame perfectly. I gave it to my dad for Christmas.

Looks good, Bryce! It was to have you work in my shop.

By the way, I took some pictures of your work in progress…

Great looking frame (and the pictures looked like a lot of fun too).
Bet your dad is getting a kick out of it all.
