Arts and Crafts Picture Frame

Very nice. I really like the tenons and pegs.

This is a gorgeous frame. I really like the style and design.

Thanks for sharing.

I am also interested in this style of furniture. Are these your plans or something from a book or magazine?

This was my design, but really there’s not much to it. I did get some tips on pegged tenon joints from a recent article in Fine Woodworking, but once you know the dimensions you want, it’s just a matter of deciding how wide you want sides, top, and bottom should be. I wanted to taper the sides even more than they are, but my stock wasn’t wide enough.

If you have specific questions, I’d be glad to answer them.

I’ve been told by a master craftsman boxmaker on this site that making a good frame is one of the hardest things to do. I took it as a very high compliment indeed, that also looks like a very nice frame. mike

Looks good, thanks for sharing, the design has inspired me to make 6 frames for some small prints of the French Quarter we picked up in the big easy last year. Wish me luck this will be the first project in my new shop after months of tool hunting and set up.

Take care

Good luck! Let us know how they turn out.
