offered in most frame shops. And because they are handmade,
genuine hardwoods and not mass produced, they will "INCREASE" in value as time
passes and will evenutally mature into antiques. And if you are

| Our frames are handmade. We use
a variety of
hardwoods and we can work with any hardwood of your choosing. We use
half lap cornering in lieu of 45 degree cornering. And by doing so, our
corners are far superior in strength with a unique look. We also use a
variety of dowels in the corners to add to the aesthetics value
and to help minimize any expansion and contraction. |
| We also work with you for that
"specialty" frame to showcase that rare occassion, whether it be
wedding,
milestone anniversary, family portrait or some other valuable piece. |
 Hickory half lap corner with Walnut Dowel |
Forty
five degree corners have a tendency to gap and seperate over time,
because there is only one point of contact. Half lap corners will not
do this. Half lap conrers have three points of contact, plus the dowel
running through from front to back. Due to the nature of half lap
cornering, no metal is used or needed. |
