Happy new year all.

My sister called the week before Christmas to ask me to make a frame for a
watercolor painting that she wanted to give our grandmother. When she
gave me the dimensions, I found an off-cut of curly cherry that was the
perfect size - literally no waste aside from the planer shavings and
mitered corners.

She wanted something simple, so the frame is just a 10 deg bevel with a
1/4" cove on the inside edge. Resawn from a width of 8/4 curly cherry
(book matched of course), 1 1/4" wide, finished with General Finishes Arm
R Seal. The first coat had a few drops of Trans Tint red mahogany and dark
mission brown to help pop the grain, subsequent coats were clear.

grandmother in her heyday?? 23 Skiddoo! Oh, you kid! and all sorta stuff?
