I'm building a picture frame for a painting. This painting is 24x29 7/8, but it is also 11/16 thick. I don't have any experience in framing paintings, so I could use some advice.
I was thinking I would just double the thickness of each board by gluing the faces together, and then cut the rabbet. If I do this, I'll essentially have 6/4 (maybe 5/4 if I need to plane the boards before gluing the faces together?) so I figured this should be my first step.
Something about this just seems wrong... but I can't put my finger on what. I suppose it just feels weird to face glue expensive cherry boards together.
