This is a picture frame that I made for a Xmas gift this year. This is from a plan from Wood magazine. I made it out of red oak and finished with Watco Danish oil.

Very nice job! I built one of these a while back and it didn't turn out as well as yours. It's got a bit of a lean to it, which I call a "feature".

Thanks for the compliments.
The frame size for the pictures is 4 3/4" x 6 3/4". If you use a 5 x 7 photo you have to trim it. I put white card stock in the picture frame so you can center a smaller photo in the frame.
To get the frame level I used the piece of marble that I use for sharpening and placed sandpaper on it and sanded the bottom of the finished frame until it was level.
This is one of 2 that I made this year. The other one was made from the same oak board but was finished with a ebony stain. It got sent out before I could take any pictures.

The plan for this picture frame was in the Nov 2006 Wood magazine. Here is a link to the plan. It is not a free plan - it costs $3.
Everyone that I show it to always asks if I can make one for them.
