Cassetta frame w Veneer
Has anyone made a frame like this delicious item from the National Gallery?
Would the outer moulding ideally sit over the edge of the central flat frieze veneer?
Could one make a closer imitation of the style of frame than for e.g. Rose & Hollis A169?

Re: Making mitred splines for a new frame
Thanks Mark for well observed comments re the video-great craftsman + great tools ( just checked the price on Amazon...wow) The use of router from both ends- meet in the middle is the way forward- did you notice how our great craftsman takes the plane all the way to the end of the outer edge? When w...

Re: Making mitred splines for a new frame
Thank you Prospero and Richard.Prospero's suggestion is brilliant- a definite for the ideas bank. Richard's illustration is the best I have seen..wonder If a Japanese "pull saw " might make a good job of the cut. I like routers but they are violent and the exit cut wouldn't always be as ea...

Yes...but I am still impressed how straight and precise the tapering lines of the cut are in Richard's example

Re: Making mitred splines for a new frame
Many thanks-would the sliding dovetail in Richard's example have been cut with a tenon saw and chisel?
It looks incredibly straight and accurate and no loss of edge when cleaned up with sand paper..beautiful work with hand tools ?
