11 x 14 Red Oak With Blue Dye Picture Frame

Description

I made this frame from scratch in my home wood working shop. It is made with Red Oak which is a hardwood. You can see the beautiful grains in the pictures. I used blue dye to compliment the grains which were quartersawn. This is a unique frame.

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 blue dye and then 3 coats of Poly which is a non toxic finish. This finish is satin yet very smooth and will clean with normal furniture cleaner. I have hand stamped the back of each frame to show it is hand made by me in my Athens Maine shop.

This frame is 11 X 14 and will hold an 11 X 14 picture or an 11 X 14 matte that can hold a collage or a smaller photo. Buyer can mount art or photos in this frame.
I can put a Saw tooth hanger on the back of the frame if you state which you want, horizontal or vertical. 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 11 X 14 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 8 X 10 frames and other items in my shop here on etsy. Thank you for looking!
