My wife bought several numbered prints last winter in Florida and wanted me to make the frames for our Florida home. So upon our arrival in MI I started thinking about how to make a frame that was a little different. While going through my fathers ShopSmith magizines (that have been saved for many a year….) I stumbled onto a photo of a frame that looked somewhat like these. Some of you may recall that the last project I posted was a miter sled for my table saw, well I made it for this the purpose of making these frames, I have used it several times since and really like it. Two of the frames are 14” x 15” and the larger one is 23” x 29”. They are constructed from Cherry with a Black Walnut inlay. The finish is numerous coats of wipe on gloss poly. It was a fun project and all comments are welcome.
Thanks for takeing the time to look…

Sweet. Good job.

Really nicely done. I like Walnut & Cherry as a combo. Nicely designed, and mitered.

I really like these frames. Great wood combination & great craftsmanship. Until last year I rarely used contrasting woods on any project. It’s expensive. But I am really happy with the results. I haven’t worked with Walnut yet (again, expensive), is it as difficult to machine as I’ve heard ?

I enjoyed you comment about several new router bits; I always design each project around the next new tool I want to buy. Btw my wife is drooling over these frames … I think I know what i will be doing next week.

Great combination of the two woods. Very elegant. Nice craftsmanship.
