Project Information
My wife is extremely talented and very artistic. Recently she was commissioned to make some home decor signs and I was roped / volun-told that I was required to help.
I was responsible for the woodworking. There's not really a lot going on here as the frames were not to take away from the signs.
The signs are hand painted and lettered on 1/4 inch birch ply and the frames are 3/4 inch oak that have been stained with Minwax's Ebony color. A very light stain was all that was required per my artist wife. She was responsible for the staining and she consistently does a fine job.
The sign blanks are 24×24 inches and the oak frames were made to fit. Simple 45 degree miters cut on my Laguna Platinum table saw and a 1/4 inch dado cut on the same machine. The frames are joined with glue and pin nails and reinforced with the brass look L plates. A saw tooth picture hanger is nailed on the back at the center of the top frame member.
Our client is very happy with the completed result.
Thanks for looking!
