6x6 Quartersawn Red Oak with Blue Dye

Description

I made this frame from scratch in my home wood working shop. It is made with Red Oak which is a hardwood. This is a unique frame because of the quarter sawn which is created by the way it is sawed.

This is a naturally beautiful frame that I made from wood I cut from the woods in Maine, after which I sawed out and kiln dried the wood. Then I hand chose the beautiful pieces of wood that I thought would go nicely in a frame. After I plane down the pieces of wood and cut them to fit in a frame, I glue, clamp and then V-Nail the back corners for extra good holding. I sand the frame more and then I coat it with a blue dye and 3 coats of polyurethane. This finish is satin and very smooth and will clean with normal furniture cleaner.

This frame is 6 X 6 and will hold an 6 X 6 picture or painting or a smaller photo matted to 6 X 6.

I can put a Saw tooth hanger on the back of the frame if you state that you want one. Or I can enclose it in shipping. Buyer is going to need to buy glass (painted art is not displayed behind glass) or you can use an old frame glass if you are replacing frames in your home or work place, this takes a standard piece of 6 X 6 glass. Buyer can purchase it at a hardware store or glass cutting store inexpensively and save on shipping.
I hope you like this frame and you can look for similar frames with different color dyes in my shop here on etsy. Thank you for looking!
