These are 2 pieces of scrap/junk wood that I had laying around and just started messing around with. The one with the boy and girl pic is made from a redbud limb and the other is a walnut limb. Mostly just had to sand/shape them both up to get a clean flat “frame” surface and then fabbed the frame. LOL…tedious work on a tablesaw and how I didnt cut my fingers off is beyond me. The top of the pic frame is just laid on/setting on and the rubber band on them in the one pic is just so I dont lose the piece. These are both gifts and because the top comes off, the new owners can put other pics in if they so desire. Both are finished with Danish oil. They are each about 11’’ tall and the frames are about 5’’ x 2 1/2’’. Thanks for the comments and looks.

Very unique. Glad you didn’t cut anything also. Be careful, plz. Maybe Santa will bring you a nice bandsaw, so you can slice n dice some logs

well ill have to say i dont believe there is to much junk wood, its just finding the right use for what you have, i wish i was creative enough to find uses for all the extra cuts i have, there are some folks out there who can, and i wish i could give them my off cuts,,but..it doesnt happen so , my shop gets geated by some of it, im glad to see you rescued these and found a good use, they will look good where ever they find a new home at..good job

Well done with the frames. I’m with the Grizzman, there is a lot of ‘scrap’ wood out there waiting for a project. Just have courage and do something with it!

This is a great idea. Are the photos in there for life or can you take them out and replace with new one’s after a bit…......................

redryder—you can change them out. The top of the frame is just setting there.
