Ribbon Mahogany Frame with Brass Splines
Finely crafted, mahogany picture/artwork frame with brass splines.
Not all mahogany is the same. Some parts of the tree, called "ribbon" mahogany, contain a psychedelic pattern that color-shifts based on the lighting conditions. To exaggerate this effect, I carefully choose which and how each piece will fit in the frame. Once glued together, a groove is then cut in order to add the brass accent splines and provide additional strength to the miter joints. I then route an 1/8" round-over on the most prominent edges, sand everything to 220 grit, and finish with two coats of Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C Pure, leaving a satin finish.
Due to the highly labor-intensive process, material cost is relatively negligible. Therefore, different widths of frame are priced the same.
*NOTE: If the size you're looking for is not available, please reach out via my shop's messages and I can get it added.
