From issue 184. I modified some dimensions to fit a 4x6 photo. LOML saw the frame in the magazine and wanted one for her 99 year-old grandmother. So, here it is!

The primary wood is cherry; inner frame is spalted maple. This photo shows it after a rub of BLO/Naphtha. I'll apply a bit of shellac for a topcoat in a couple of days.

I just got some photos from Daycare of my daughter yesterday and i think i'm going to build something like this for it.

Thanks for sharing...

Very nice on the frame! Great combination of woods, and the spalting really gives it some character.

Very nice Bill. I like the stand for it also. I need to make a large frame to put some Vietnam memorabilia in.. I guess you could say I've been putting if off for 40 years. How's that for procratination? ha..ha..

Well done...

Thanks, guys. It's been a while since I've worked on something with small parts, so it was good to get the practice! :)
