framing

This week I’m building frames for both a photo I’m custom framing for a client and a new chalk/cork board. The frame above is made from pine that was once an old poorly constructed chest. The frame below is made from salvaged tongue & groove cedar that was once a wall in an old saltbox style home in Barnegat Light.

wood glue and biscuits are how I join my corners. © Ben Wurst
