    Yep

    Very nice. I'm in the midst of doing a run of 7 picture frames. I'll post them soon.

    Glenn, that is a great looking frame. I like the stand, and the cross.

    Good job, Sam

    Hey Glenn, good job. I was considering making one or two of those this winter as well. Any tips that might not be spelled out in the magazine?

    Glenn, that is some beautiful work - little tedious on that cross!! Turned out great!

    Like David, walnut and maple were meant to be together, and add a little figure in the maple and you have the perfect combo!

    First of all, thanks everybody. I rarely make things from plans and this sure went quick and easy as I didn't have to engage my brain very much .

    Rick, Do follow the sequence of machining the outer frame pieces as the method they use gives you the most stability on your material. I built the substrate and made sure it was perfectly square (or rectangle . . . uh, you know what I mean). I then glued the maple to it and used it as a guide to some degree.

    I finished the maple frame and the walnut outer frame (BLO and shellac) prior to joining the two (I did not apply finish to the surfaces that would be glued together). I finished the base, the vertical and the "keeper" separately. I screwed the vertical to the base (no glue so I can break it down to gift wrap it. That's about all the guidance I can think of that isn't covered in the mag. Have fun ;-)

    Nice work and nice combo or wood. I am expescially intriqued by the stand as I suppose I don't ge out much as I have not seen one. Maybe I have but just wasn't paying attention to what I saw.

    Anyhoo... very nice results!
