    Those are very nice! Well done.

    I have some 3"x3"x36" reclaimed leopard wood dunnage, that was used as pallet runners, in the garage. I've never really thought about using it for more than jacking up the car until now.

    Those are superb and give me a good idea for some prints of mine. I was at the London Gallery a few weeks back and those I was with didn't get my interest in the frames.

    Those are quite elegant. Great work!
    Rustic? Well, no. That was not my intention!

    Wow! The leopard wood takes the concept of picture frame borders to a whole-nother level. Beautiful work!

    Very nice Glenn. Excellent workmanship. I see you are in SoCal, do you mind sharing where you got the Leopardwood?

    and lacewood

    in the same bin but, they're not that hard to tell apart. Leopard wood is generally darker and heavier.
