Frames

Several months ago I asked for advice about a homemade frame for a plaque for my Daughter on her wedding. Two of you gave some advice but it still took another month before I decided on my own design.

I did this ages ago but I could not show you till now because the wedding is on this Friday and I did not want my secret getting out through the web.

The plaque is ply [don't know what type] that I stained then sanded back to the wood. Its backed by dark red felt.

The frame is a different ply [and I still don't know which type] that is unstained. I stack cut the two sides and then cut the names and date in the top piece.

I am a painter and decorator by trade, and I came to wood only lately. I have huge difficulty cutting neat joints. I find it impossible to do a straight cut [see the two corners] so I had to cover up the corners with a Claddagh symbol and a rose.

Remember BOB, it's not how well you do your job,It's how well you hide your mistakes ! You did a great job of turning a lemon into lemonade! Lol, I'm no good matching things up either that's  what i try to avoid. The more you do to that crack the better it looks!Your embellishments in the corner are really trick, Good job ! :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

You did great it looks very nice. I found out a long time ago people really like the home made items. Cause it is made with care and love. There is no other one in the world like it.

 

There are is a nice little accessory saw that you can buy that is not very expensive. And it will give you a true 45° angle. So if you are going to make more of these or portraits you might consider buying one. Good day
