Hello everyone,
I started tonight on a simple quatersawn white oak picture frame for an oil painting on canvas I picked up in Cuba over Christmas.
I had to make a new frame to stretch the canvas over, (it was removed from the frame for transport)
Just a simple soft maple frame pocket screwed together.
I had some quarter sawn white oak I picked up a while ago and decided to make the actual picture from from it,
Here it is in clamps, about 1.75" wide, #10 biscuits at the corners. You can see the part of the biscuits protruding into the frame itself. They will be trimmed later and not seen.
Here is a pic of sanding the entire frame flush with 240 grit,
I stretched the canvas over the maple frame and secured it with tacks,
I don't speak Spanish, but this tag was on the back of the canvas. I had to pay $2.00 for this tag in order to take it out of Cuba,
Here I am making the rebate in the back of the QSWO frame for the picture to fit into,
Not the best shot, but here I am squaring up the rounded corners of the rebate so the picture will fit in,
