The artist I made the heirloom double postal box for gave me this limited edition print and I finally got around to making a frame for it. I used the wood from dad’s barn (which is gone now) which I thought was appropriate. This frame is big and heavy (3’x2’) so I splined the miters to stouten it. Finished with 4 coats of shellac. The print is a little different but I like it. The artist grew up on a ranch in Southern Oklahoma. Enjoy!

I think the barn wood frame is the perfect style for that picture. I’d happily hang it on my wall.

As I look back I always think of something a horseshoer friend of mine told someone when I was close by, The fellow said there was no real cowboys left, and the horseshoer said yes there are but you can’t see them from the highway and walked away. A great frame and a great build. We are the lucky ones, yep. Not many young people seem to respect where they came from, yep.

Bob, That horseshoer had a good point. I am shocked at how many young people today don’t know who John Wayne was, much less Roy and Trigger. My granddaughter certainly does as they have a life size John Wayne cut out in her living room!

That sure looks like a self portrait, Doc and I like it very much.
