Gallery Framing:
When a 2-D work of art or reasonably sized 3-D object* is placed securely in the frame and shielded from the elements by a sheet of glass or acrylic. The most archival materials are used combined with the most reversible processes when ever possible.
*Unusual items framed in the past include and are not limited to textile art, items of clothing, and other small 2-D and-D objects (e.g. birthday candle,and envelope etc.). Please, give specific details if looking to have an unusual item framed.
Custom gallery framing includes your choice of:
Wood
Commonly In-stock: Walnut, Maple, Ash, Red Oak, Cherry, Pine.

Corner Style
Rounded or Regular Corners*
Splines or No Splines**
Splines: Thin strips of wood glued across the 45 degree joint to add strength and visual character.
Type of wood used as a spline is fully customizable but limited to what I have in stock at the time.
*Rounded corners not available for floater frames.
**Splines highly recommended for works larger than 20 inches. Splines are required for rounded corners for extra strength.
Glass/Acrylic*
Regular Glass
OR
I use TruVue Glass and Acrylic Products. View their website to see details on each product.
*Acrylic highly recommended in cases where shipping is needed or expected in the future of the artwork. Also, recommended for artwork larger than 20 inches.
Profile
How far off the wall would you like the frame to protrude?
*My standard thickness is 1 1/2 inches, but I have built frames as large as 3 inches in depth.
There are limits, but please discuss this with me personally. Special exceptions can be made.
*Pricing is subject to change as materials are added to the project.
