old barn lumber frame

Exceptionally nice work!

Really cool picture frame. I love old wood..lots of character. To prevent your images from being cut off try and keep the width under 480. I usually scale my images down to 640X480.

Hi Renee,
The frames are terrific. So unique. It looks like you put a profile on them, that they aren’t totally flat? How did you mill the wood?
TIA,
Vic

Thank You Vic….........the wood was old barn lumber and it was gray…..so I plained it down just enough to get the gray off to expose the true color of the wood. This is two frames put together as one. They used to do that in the old days and I really like doing it that way…...I think it makes for a more interesting frame. But getting back to it…..........I cut the straight edges with a table saw, and the cut my inside lip to hold the photo and the glass and then mitered my corners with a miter saw, and put it together.

Great looking frames. That wood looks like wormy chestnut. They used to make a lot of barns from chestnut wood. Our company builds a lot of wormy chestnut cabinets. I like using that wood for frames also.

Hi Robin;

This is fantastic work!

Great job with the wood, and your sketch is beautiful. I like the corner pieces also.

Really nice project.

I’m still trying to get stick figures right.

Very nice Robin, I love the color you got from that old chestnut. You can’t buy that at the lumber yard anymore.

Hi Robin, Great job on the frame, I also like the corner touch and the wood choice. I have always been fond of the Indian culture and your sketch is beautifully done. You are very talented.

i’m with Lee and Bob on this one, the corner pieces really highlight the sketch, looks great! plus i’ve always had a fondness for repurposed wood, there’s such beauty lurking beneath the ugly surface of old wood and rarely is it ever revealed except by wood lovers like us lumberjocks. great job.

i really love the framed picture…i love the indians, my sister who lives in wyoming is also a very good artist and she has done a few paintings for me, i love the frame you did..very nice….and your bathroom piece is a job well done…..i look forward to the cabin pictures…i lived in alaska for 15 years and had the chance to see alot of log homes and our good friend did the same as you, i dont know if your logs are all the same size or not, but they used very large logs and it turned out so grand, they hand scribed there corner notches and it would be hard pressed to get a piece of paper into those cuts…thanks for pictures ..im sure you would have more to post if you did furniture…lets see em…...grizzman
