Good job. I have to agree with Whitebeast picture frames done right are very dificult. The miter joints are tne key and they are out where everyone can see them.

Sometimes it’s special not because of how it’s made, but what it holds. Tough to get frames exact.

i spent a lot of time coming up with a way to cut miters correctly, finally came up with a couple table saw sled style miter jigs that work very well. i also purchased one of the self squaring frame jigs for glue ups which is also very helpful

hard to tell in the picture but the miters are perfect on this frame, unfortunately i cant say the same for the maple inlay at the corners as there is just a small gap in 2 of the corners where i trimmed the maple. i should have been more careful

Glad to hear other folks admit that frames -which seem so simple- are hard to do right. I am working on an ambrosia maple one and can’t get the miters right. I paused the project and ordered a better miter gauge. It should arrive Thursday. I will post the project when it’s done. Thanks for sharing this one. Nice miters!
