    Excellent job John....The copper looks great with that lacewood, and the oriental theme works nicely.

    Critique? I don't think so. Awesome. Period.

    GRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEAt. As tony would say.

    Wonderful work with such a delicate inlay. I don't know if I would have the patience for that. I love how the copper accents the Lasewood,so beautifully.
    Thanks for sharing the inside scoop.

    John,

    I really, really like it. Simple yet elegant.

    Curious, are the corners simply glued together or did you use a spline or bisquit? And did you route out a rabbet on the backside to place the poster in?

    And finally, assuming you have a rabbet on the back, what kind of hardware did you use to hold the picture into the frame? I can't find anything at the local hardware stores and probably will need to buy something online for this.

    I agree with Jim. What is there to critique? Nice Job !! I love the closeup on the wood.

    I hope the family is doing well.

    Best Regards

    That's a nice frame. I like both the wood choice and the copper for that print. It works very well. Your daughter should be pleased. I'm sure she'll have that print and its frame for a very long time.
