Recently, I made this maple picture frame at a local workshop at the hatchspace in downtown Brattleboro, VT. It has a spline in the corners to strengthen the miter joinery. This frame-making experience led me to join the hatchspace with their promotional offer. They have four floors of tools, work stations and spaces.
The hatchspace has a machine that makes frame profile stock out of your wood. This is a machine I want to learn more about. In addition, I have a corner joiner at home which I want to put to good use this Winter.
So there is a lot to learn about for me regarding frame-making. In watercolor that also includes cutting glass and mats and assembling this sandwich all as one unit.
I apologize for the glare in the upper right of the image. I tried to use the cropping/red eye software to minimize or eliminate this glare but it didn't take me as far as I would like too. However, I do think the watercolor looks pretty good within this frame.
