Great looking job. Did you supply the tiles or did the customer.

Beautiful creations and craftsmanship, Max. The finish looks excellent too. Nice work!

Tom,

Thank you. The finish is a water base dye with a oil stain overlay and then a lacquer finish.

Hi Max,

These are nice frames. I may have to “borrow” your post. I really like these frames. The pegs add a nice detail to them as well. I assume that the pegs are pinning the tenons rather than being just decorative??

In the third frame what about the dutchman inlays? Are they more than decorative??

Thanks for the post.

Scott,

Thank you for the compliment. Borrow away…. You are correct the pegs are pinning the tenons and the dutchman are more than decorative.

Beautiful job Max. Man I love that color. What color dye did you use? Wow it’s too much. I love it. mike

Mike,

Thank you. The dark frame is dyed first with a Reddish Brown dye and then oil based Spiced Walnut stain applied and the lighter frame is a yellow dye and then a oil based red mahogany stain applied.

Dan,

Thank you for the compliment.

All works of quality must bear a price in proportion to the skill, time expense and risk attending to their invention and manufacture. Those things called dear, are, when justly estimated, the cheapest. They are attended with much less profit to the artist then those things which everbody calls cheap.

Anyone would be proud to have these hanging prominently on their walls. Good job, Max.

Thank you Doug for the compliment. The one with the blue tile in it the customer wanted me to redo so she could see the entire tile. I mounted it from the back in the one pictured. The new one I mounted from the front so you could see the edges of the tile. The store that ordered them for the customers had me mount it from the back the first time thinking that is what the customer wanted. So they are paying me again for the do over.

Paid on a call-back! Extra good job. Max :)

Doug,

At least I didn’t cause the “call-back”. This work was done through a furniture store that I do custom work for and they gave me the directions on the build which wasn’t what the end user wanted. So the store is paying me for the re-do’s for it was there mistake.

Max…

Combining the Mission furniture with the tiles is beautiful! The square pegs look great too.

Frank,

Thank you so much for the compliment.

Max, I really like these and might just need to give them a try myself. May I ask what you typically charge for one of these?
