Hey all,
Here is a project I delivered yesterday.
Project: custom frame for hand painted ceramic tiles for a very talented artist. The picture is called "San Remo"
Design: other than discussing wood choices, the client gave me free reign
Size: ~34"w x 45"h
Materials: purples heart with curly maple plugs.
Joinery: half lap (or almost half) with a plugged single screw
Details: rails and stiles have shaped and smoothed, random undulations, the tiles are fixed to 1/2" baltic birch ply substrate that is let into back of frame via rabbet and then surface cleated top and bottom to hold the tiles into the frame.
Finish: 3 coats Arm-r-seal semi with a coat of wax
Firsts: random shaping
Any and all comments are welcome.
Thanks for looking,
-joe
