Making the Frame

Picture
The frames are joined either by means of an underpinner or with small hard plastic dovetail wedges. The photograph above shows the channels for the wedges being cut. In most cases the frames will also be cross pinned (or screws inserted for large frames) which combined with an extremely strong wood glue results in an excellent bond.

​Natural wood frames are then filled, sanded, and the final finish applied. ​

These tray frames have been painted with white earth pigment paint as have the window cut 3mm MDF backing boards. The backs will be glued and pinned into the frames with pilot holes drilled in the finished backs ready to fit the canvases.
​The cut window allows access to the stretcher pegs when the work is in the frame.
