a pictire frame

You, Sir, have my total admiration.

Another great project!

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

The lines that display in this are amazing. I really like the frame. Ok, how did you carve the shape of the molding (handplanes?)?

-- The name is "Splinter"... I'm the son-of-a-son-of-a-carpenter

I love that wood, that’s awesome.

-- Never pet a burning dog...

That is simply awesome. I love that wood… Great craftsmanship!!

Very nice, beautiful wood and masterful craftsmanship

-- With more power you can make toothpicks faster

well done!!! fantastic work.

This is a stunning frame. To create something like this without the use of power tools is truly a masterful job.

Well done.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Extremely well done.

The wood is gorgeous, and deserves the kind of attention you have given it.

I think the picture detracts from the frame.

very cool, i’m also curious did you use custom handplanes to create the profile. Very well done..

I admire you…..no machinery ?

For me, a tool that is not connected to a cord or doesn’t have a battery…is not a tool :-)

Beautiful work

Thank you very much to all of you.
To be honest did not expect so many responds on my work.
Was trying to answer on every one but now is imposible – to many.
I will write here then.
About how – chisels – no hand molding planes apart from sholder one to make straight guide line.
If you can see the grain is not long ones to the lenght of the four sides.
It is short grain other wise won’t be imposible to get the wooden picture.
The miters were done by sawing first – japanese saw, and planing – a bit dificult not to chip the edge.
The rest is laquering, well my combination of diferent resins and alcohol.

I noticed the grain orientation right away …it is awesome !!!....Love the frame and your skills , but the picture really doesn’t go with the quality of the frame…..JMO…I like the picture , just not with the frame.

The noise you hear is me whistling! That looks awesome!

-- Brian, Lebanon PA, If you aren’t having fun doing it, find something else to do.

Thank you,
I do agree that the picture is faiding a way in such a striking frame.
I probably become use to it’s combination.
Do not know but feels exactly as I have imagined it – an English landscape in English walnut frame.

Gorgeous work!

Absolutely stunning! I’ve never seen a grain pattern like that before—please don’t take this the wrong way, but it almost looks like some kind of python. The fact that you did that by hand is truly amazing. Gorgeous piece of work!
