I like the bends in the wood you used to allow her hair and neckline to show. Very cool.

The workmanship is as beautiful as the girl – great job following the contours and inset

Neat frame. Is there a story behind the wood selection (I’m picturing from an old barn)? Trying to figure out the layout from the second picture before assembly – are those the back sides showing where the picture would be placed?

That is a great frame. I really like the way it bends to the character of who is in the photo. Very clever indeed.

Wonderful. I am also trying to understand the layout from the second photo. There appear to be a couple of notches. Did you “stretch” a couple of boards to better balance the shape of the frame? Can I change “wonderful” to Magnificent?

Very cool.
Do you somehow “age” the ends that you cut so they blend in better?

Thanks everyone for the comments. What a wonderful welcome on my first post.
BB1 & jjoe- I have a bunch of old barn wood I bought and am always looking for ways to use it and I think they requested it. On the back side I didn’t want to cut the photo or shape the glass so I made clearance so both would fit.
O’wood- I tried some stain to attempt a match but nothing can match the effects of Mother Nature + time.

Very creative. Nice job of tight joinery with irregular shapes.
