Picture Frame
Hi all,
Looking to frame a large official document(17 x 37). I need to make a custom frame for it. Don't have a great mind for design. does anybody have any good ideas for this??? I have thought about using chair rail or blank stock for this. what profiles would look good routing the blank stock or what types of chair rail would work??? Maybe a shadowbox??? also what would be the best wood to use??? any ideas at all please help!!! Thanks Dave |

Picture Frame
It's hard for someone to give you advice on this without seeing doc, etc.
It is for me anyway. Here's a link in case you don't have it, for building picture frames. Will help you gauge proportion. You probably are just going to have to run some scrap thru a few router bits to see how it comes out or go to a place that sells/makes picture frames and see if you can get ideas there.. http://kombat.org/FrameMaking/index.html "Dave" wrote in message ...

I have thought about using chair rail or blank stock for this. During a recent trip to the Mid-West (Iowa and Wisconsin) I had a number of projects to work out and I got a lot of my supplies at Menards. If one of these stores is in your area, they carry various types of picture frame all ready molded and rabbeted in 6' lengths that run about $11. All you'd have to do to it is mitre, glue and finish it. NOTE: The picture frame stock isn't in the same area that the lumber and other wood is. You might need to ask someone where it is. -- If you want to reply via email, change the obvious words to numbers and remove ".invalid". |
