This is a panel of stained glass that has been in our family for at least 100 years. All I know about it is that someone in the family made it, and it was in the shack my dad was born in South Dakota and his family brought it out to Oregon with them in the 30’s. I decided, since I hadn’t broken it yet, I better build a frame for it. Simple M & T, craftsman frame out of spalted White Oak and Black Walnut – Wife had juuuust the spot for it!
I’ve seen this pattern and size many times on ebay and the web – if anyone knows any history on the pattern or anything, I’d very much like to hear about it!
Thanks!

Nice work and great way to preserve a family piece.

That tulip motif glass was pretty popular in the heyday of the arts and crafts period. That is a particularly nice example. Nice patina on the caming. It is still on my list of things to try – making stained glass panels – and it looks fun too.
I like the style of your frame as well. That long overhang really grabs your attention.
Nice one!

Beautiful work protecting that heirloom for another 80 some years. I also echo Thos.’ sentiment. It would only be a shocker if it wasn’t top-flight!
