Hip Replacement X-Ray

First x-ray I have seen in a frame. But a nice frame it is! Love the reclaimed wood.

Obviously different techniques used on the earlier and later inserts.

Looks like the reclaimed wood had its own inserts! LOL

I think this is 5 and 6 of 11 operations

Nice rustic look of the frame. Goes to show that reclaimed wood can add character to a project.
But you might want to watch where you place it, It’s my understanding that the sun light can start fading x-rays. I could be though.

Let’s hope Dad came out as well as that frame did :-)

Awesome idea, adds some reality to the phrase “life imitates art”.

Think I need to put my picture of my haywire they used in my two open heart operations to hold me together. Nice frame and hope he has a speddy recovery.

Great frame! Just a little FYI for you though, looking at that x-ray it appears that it is film and is not a digital or computed x-ray, sun will effect this image and eventually fade it and turn it brown. (I take x-rays to supplement my wood working addiction) You could make a lighted box (AKA “Viewbox”) and only turn it on for viewing for a longer life.

Just don’t want your hard work to fade on you!
