meflick Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 What beautiful and stunning pieces of art you have hand crafted for your family to remember your's and their's loved one. The angels and their cutting alone are stunning. The frames and your extra work are equally stunning and it shows. Great job. Thanks for showing them to us. tomsteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 That is some professional looking work!.. I love the frames and have always liked when matting is put around the picture. I want to learn how to do that. tomsteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the frames and have always liked when matting is put around the picture. I want to learn how to do that. thanks,scrappile. ya know, its really not that difficult to do a mat. main thing i remembered on this one was having the mat before building the frame. theres places online that sell custom size mats,too, and might even be a local framing shop that can do it,too. plus quite a few good videos on youtube to use as guides. one extra thing i did on these i hadnt done before is add a dust cover on the back. found out through youtube its real easy. note- i didnt make the mat on these. i would have gotten glue and fingerprints all over them!

rdatelle Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Those came out great. Beautiful veining on the angels. What size drill bit did you use for the holes. tomsteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsteve Posted December 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 thanks all for the kind compliments. ralph, i used #3 spiral blades and #56 drill bit. i drill the holes in areas where i can feather the edges of the vein to make the hole disappear.

rdatelle Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 I don't think I have a # 56 drill bit. I'll have look into that. I still haven't tried using the spira blades. I guess sooner or later I will have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
