Why Not A Blog Y2D185

My 2014 direction is higher quality framing,, I have plans now to start with two nice
professional frames,, with museum glass,,

I will meet with the custom framer next week,, I need to decide on the look, because
I am thinking of creating a consistent set of frames,,

Over the years, I have built up a hodge podge of randam frames from metal, to natural wood
to lately the white painted premades, good enough for the occasional store showing, small
shop,

but, working on moving up the food chain, so,, need higher end.. I am thinking about 10-15
in time, with the ability to easily switch mattes/photos.

Perhaps this summer,, I'll attempt a few of my own custom frames.. might be worth
the effort to reduce the cost

buy the wood, cut/sand/stain/etc and buy the museum glass in bulk, see how much I can
drive down the cost.

I feel your pain. I to have hodge-podged frames in years past and came to regret it. I now frame in the same manner as Carnegie Museum. Expensive but it is what I want for my very best shots.
You can certainly try to make your own frames. As a woodworker I sometime do that when I am looking for a specific look but I do not think you will find I any less expensive.
we have established a relationship with a wholesale frame and supply company and that works pretty well, but the we are an established business. Best of luck to you.
