Closed corner frames are the ultimate in framing quality and craftsmanship. It’s what makes them stand apart from any other frames available. Building the frame first and then applying the finish, ensures that every one of my frames is strong with virtually seamless corners.
Each one of my frames is made from scratch by first hand selecting the wood before milling it to the desired profile. Frames are finely sanded to ensure the ultimate in smoothness before adding any of my handcrafted natural finishes.
Artisan woodworking techniques are used to build all of my frames…No v-nails here! The spline joint is where one or two cuts are made in the corner of the frame after it is built. Another type of wood (usually contrasting) is put in its place. Using this technique allows me to provide a distinctive look, finished quality while also highlighting craftsmanship.
Cast iron vices ensure each corner is securely bonded together to provide added strength & durability.
My commitment to quality is equaled by my commitment to the environment. The wood I use is FSC certified (ensuring that the wood comes from well managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits). I have also teamed up with my local community to donate all of my raw wood waste for composting and other recycling needs.
