Frank Pellow Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) This is made up of 6 layers of 3mm thick Baltic Birch Plywood. Layers 2, 4, and 6 are stained with Saman water-based stain. the layer 2 colour is Canadian Maple the layer 4 colour is Walnut the layer 6 colour is Dark Walnut All the sawing was done with Flying Dutchman #1 Ultra Reverse blades and it took about 3 hours to cut. The Rosseter-Pellow frame is made of 1/4 sawn White Oak and stained with Saman Black water-based stain. After staining, the frame was sanded to give it a distressed appearance. Everything is finished with 3 coats of semi-gloss clear rattle-can spray stuff. Here is a photo of the layers before staining and assembly: Here it is after staining and assembly: And, here it is after framing: Unfortunately, the layering is hard to see in a two dimensional photo, but it is quite effective.

trackman Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 I really like the frame you made. Did you cut the curve inside corners after you put it together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are interested in making such frames yourself, contact me via email at fpellow@sympatico.ca and I will send you detailed step by step instructions.

heppnerguy Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 The frame was a great addition to your well cut pattern. I need to take time to frame more of what I make, as it is easy to see how much it adds to a project. Dick heppnerguy Frank Pellow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, that is why I make short video to show my customers how finished project will look like. my YouTube channel Alex, the video helps somewhat and I did look at it before purchasing the pattern, but it is still two dimensional and I did not see the full effect until making the piece. As you can see, I used some of the same stains on both this piece and the fretwork Farm Truck piece. Also, the frames that I made for them are similar. I'm planning to hang them as a pair on a wall in my office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirithorse Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Well done, Frank! I did not realize how many layers there were in this version when I looked at your other post with the poll.

I have read the directions. Hope to get a chance soon to try it out. I don't have all the tools you use, so will have to do some improvising.

I've made this type of frame using hand tools only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when my grandfather taught me, we used a backsaw with a rip blade (carefully): Another way is to glue two pieces of wood together.
