Chet Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Submitted on the old forum by Kev Had to knock one of these out for a relative.. Sapele and Wenge for this one with Padauk and Wenge splines.. I'll get pictures of the splines when the finish dries.. Much better picture and it's actually dry now... Also, trying a much larger picture format.. Here it is all finished up.. Being sent back to the owner tomorrow.. Follow up posts 1) Wife bought a print while in Tennessee and this would fit the bill. Nice! 2) Thanks Coop! Pretty simple build! I do have a video.. I just rabbeted the dark back wood into the bottom of the sides. I glued these up before mitering the corners on the miter sled. Then, just glue up, sand, and apply finish.. You'll spend more time waiting for glue to cure than actual woodworking. Nice quick win! 3) Thanks Kev and yeah, I’ve watched the video a couple of times and appreciate you having made it. It will definately be my guide! 4) That is cool! How did you attach the pic? 5) I used 1/2" spacers around the picture to hold in place while I turned it over and attached the picture from the back. In this case, the canvass has a pine frame so, all I had to do was pilot drill and put in screws. 6) My wife’s print is not on a frame. I guess dbl. back tape would do? With spacers in the back to extend it out some? 7) You don't really need to extend it out unless you want to. I'd have to see what you're mounting to offer any real suggestions.. I'm not a big fan of double stick tape for a permanent install. You might actually consider using conventional hanging hardware inside the frame.. 8) It’s just a flat as a fritter print, about 1/16 thick. I wonder if attaching it to a frame, painted black will do? I’ll have to play with it. 9) I'd attach something like that to ply or MDF that has the edges painted black then just attach that in the frame as I did.. 10) Darn good idea. About how much room did you leave between the inside edge of the frame to the outside edge of the pic? 11) Sorry, just realized you said about 1/2” 12) Yep.. Design calls for 1/2" all the way around..
