    Nearly finished frames

    All I need to do is get the glass and insert the pictures. I made this from the wood that came with the lumber liquidators woodworkers pack. Not really sure what type of wood it is. The splines are cedar. The dark spots are actually nail holes from when they were pallets. I used an axe to distress the edges so that the nail holes would work with the overall esthetics.

      Wow, nice job! Weren't you worried about a stray nail damaging your tools? I'd be nervous as all get out doing that!

        Very nice. I love using recycled wood. I think it gives some of the more interesting looks to projects.

          That looks great!

          Just a question. What are splines for, and how to you make them?

              Nice. The miters look nice and tight.

                  Good job! The wood looks like mahogany to me, especially the frame on the right.
