This is a nice post, Marc. You put together a pretty good tutorial on the design and construction of the frame. You chose a nice selection of woods as well. Thanks for the info.

I would like to offer you one suggestion on the artwork. It is a good idea to put a mat between the artwork and plastic/glass to create some separation between the two. Over time the artwork can bond to the to the plastic unless they are separated.

Mark a great gift for your wife. I like putting veneer on solid wood. It make it feel more like working with wood than plywood. A great looking job.

Thanks for the great comments everyone. Just a heads up. Someone wrote me recently and mentioned that using ply as a backer might not be a great idea for certain original art. So the recommendation was to use acid-free materials for this purpose. Fortunately my work is a print from a digital copy, so I am not too concerned about it. But I just wanted to make sure everyone knows to keep the acid issue in mind. Clearly, I have little to no experience framing things. lol

Obviously you have discovered the secret to more shop time…..... make stuff for the wife.

Nooooo! A WOW player! That game owes a friend of mine two years of his life. Great piece. That stain really made the wood pop.

-- Don't tell her I'm in the shop!

Once again you have made all of us better by sharing your talent. Thank you

Thanks Marc. I’ve been wanting to make some western mesquite frames, it should be fun.

Beautiful wood! And a very sentimental and thoughtful gift. Thanks for the video. This reminds me that I have a few photographs, printed to 16×20, that I need to make frame and cut mat for.
