Picture Frames

Project by kshipp posted 676 days ago 467 views 1 time favorited 9 comments Add to Favorites Watch

These were the first picture frames I have made and my first project working with nice wood. I have made other things before but only with pine, etc. They are maple and walnut. I expected it would just be a simple matter of gluing up the pieces, cutting the miters, and assembling it. As you know, it was slightly more complicated. The finish is a clear satin gel urethane.
The pictures are of dogs that we have fostered in the past and these were gifts for my wife for Christmas.

This is a both a nice project and excellent use of contrasting woods. I am not going to share this with my wife. I’ve got enough to do as it is. Every time she sees something like this I invariably get “why can’t you build that”.

thanks for the inspiration

Good job – I like the combination of Walnut and Maple. Did you do the paintings too?

I appreciate all of the nice comments. I didn’t do the paintings.
One is from www.pugcasso.com and the other is from www.fortytworoads.etsy.com. I really enjoy designing technical things and doing technical drawings but I’ve never been good at art like this. Probably because I’m too technical. (Engineer by trade.)
