I'm tellin' the EPA....
Hello everyone,
I started tonight on a simple quatersawn white oak picture frame for an oil painting on canvas I picked up in Cuba over Christmas.
I had to make a new frame to stretch the canvas over, (it was removed from the frame for transport)
I had some quarter sawn white oak I picked up a while ago and decided to make the actual picture from from it,
will be trimmed later and not seen.
Here is a pic of sanding the entire frame flush with 240 grit,
stuff is dangerous. I am wearing an organic airfilter, googles and heavy acid gloves.
You can see the frame in a garbage can on a supporting frame. There is a glass pie plate in there onto which I will pour a pint or two of
ammonia.
tough to put on. I will leave the frame in there to fume for between 24-48 hours. I expect the frame to turn a dark chocolate brown, but the
ray flecks of the QSWO to remain light and luminescent, unlike the muddiness they would take on if the fram was stained.

Every neighbourhood has one, in mine, I'm him.
Ah, one of my flavourite threads,
David.
Very nice, David.
Wonder why you didn't miter the QSWO frame, however. I think it would've looked much nicer that way.

Because of the bead. I thought the end grain blow out of the itty bitty mitred corner would be terrible. Plus, it was easier and required less material.

cut the bead before the miters....
How do I do that when the bead will cross the mitre from the vertical and onto the horizontal pieces?

cut the bead before the miters....
miter all 4 corners was what I was thinking....
