I thought that I would start out simple by making a picture frame.
This one I made years ago.
It’s maple with many coats of tung oil. It’s made to fit a 5×8 photo.

nice looking frames. My first attempts (actually… ALL my attempts) at mitred picture frames have ended up in the bin, just couldn’t get the bloody things square.

Good first try – the miters look tight.

Nice job! What did you use on the back to make the space for the glass and backing – a router? And how did you do the miters – table saw, miter box?

Great looking frame, don’t forget to sign and date the back you so you can look back some day.

Glad to hear you think it’s a simple job.
Many people consider this to be a tricky project!
