Christmas 2017

This year for Christmas I made 4x6 picture frames for several family members.  I used only wood I had on hand - most of which I only had in small quantities.  Here they are!

Reclaimed walnut.  My father in law saved this wood out of a bank that was being remodeled.

Pear wood from a tree my parents cut out of their yard years ago.

Curly soft maple leftover from some kitchen cabinets I built a couple of years ago.

Blackjack oak sapwood cut from our property.

More of the pear wood.

Some cedar from our property, straight off the bandmill for the rustic texture.

Top going clockwise - walnut, pear, blackjack oak, and rough cedar.

I didn't include any construction details as there are many, many great articles out there on the web about making picture frames.  I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season 2017 as I did.  Thanks for stopping by!
