A lot have seem to like my western frames so maybe I can give something to someone who hasn't found out about this trick. Making The Frame okay i bought 1x4 x8" western rough cedar $4.29 each spit a bunch in half. then set fence and ripped sides about 1.125 got 3 out of each 8' then ripped dado to accept picture and glass. i glued edge of the 1 3/4" piece and placed 1.125 i air nailed it with 1" brads. after i made some patterns and laid out a long and short piece for making 11"x14" frame. glued edges pop 4 staples 2 each side. then hit edges with an orbital sander to knock slivers off. Make Them Old get 2 individual pieces of 0000 steel wool and a gallon of white vinegar and a plastic sealable tube that will hold 2 gallons. pour vinegar and steel wool and close up for at least 2 days. open and stir if it's all dissolved, add 1 gallon of water to the mixture. now paint all exposed surfaces and get them wet. let them set overnight add hangers that's it. Now I hear it only works in western cedar and sometimes you will see orange spots I touch them with liquid again and they get less bright. I think it makes my western pictures. Any questions please ask
