Picture Frame

Gorgeous Frame!

I have always been amazed at how much some places charge for even the simplest of frames. The are so easy to make!

This is a really nice frame. Making the stile and rails different widths adds a nice detail to the frame and your choice of wood is excellent, in my opinion but I tend to be somewhat biased in that cherry is my favorite wood.

Thanks for the post. I enjoyed this one. I may have to "borrow" your design since I have a bunch of pictures to frame and I like the looks of this design.

To make it true to the Roycroft style (according to the gift shop), you would need a contrasting peg through the tenon. I actually cheated and used biscuits (nobody will ever know). That way you can justify the frame from the back and get the reveal on the front. I have a different one that I will post if I can find the pictures. They're fun and easy to make. They are small enough that you could pilfer the woodpile for pieces of interesting wood. I keep tapping into the firewood supply!!

Welcome to LumberJocks. Thanks for sharing looks good. I do hope to get some time to work on something like this.
