Straight Edge Life

You might think that a smart person would buy some inexpensive wood (or just find some scraps) to use while refining the frame building process. Not me. Nope. I prefer not to give myself any room for error. Ok. Maybe that’s not true. I did screw up a lot of wood while attempting to make good 45 degree cuts for the corners. What should have been enough wood for three frames was rendered into a small pile of scraps and just enough good 45 degree cuts to make one frame. I managed to route the inner edged for holding the matte, glass and print without too much trouble, and only a little blood shed. I’m now, a week later, waiting for the glue to dry on the corners. Can’t wait to pop the glass, matte and print in there and hang it. Actually I guess I had better sand and stain or paint the frame before i put the art in it. Anyway. I’m jazzed. I think I’m going to like framing more and more as I do it more frequently.
