Brilliant. Many thanks. I'm generally busy on a Mon,Tues,Wed and Fri but Sat Sun and Thurs are good.

Matt

Oh and can you post some photos please?

Matt

Hello That would be ideal as it's about 2 hours 45 mins from me. I could do that and back no trouble. I assume it'll fit in an estate car? What day would suit?

Matt

Hello G&B

I might be interested in your Morso. Only problem being I'm up in Edinburgh so I don't want to drive too far south to collect it. Is there a possibility you could drive north a bit and meet me? I'd pay for your petrol.

Matt

Not as far north as I'd hoped but do you have any further info?
Matt

Anyone have a Morso for sale in Scotland or north of England?

Fed up wih hand sawing and lots of frames needing to made!

Matt

If the gilt cream is durable then I won’t put any wax on it. It would be easier just to apply the wax to the whole frame which I’d do if the wax wasn’t going to affect the gilt cream but I’ll just work around it and buff it all up together.
Matt

Hello. Hoping someone can answer a quick question. I've just applied some Liberon gilt cream to a couple of frames which I'd now like to finish with wax polish. I'm assuming the wax won't react with the gilt cream in any way but it's the first time I've tried it and I'd hate to have my work ruined a...

Hello. Just wondering, did you sell these items?

Matt

Hello all. Thanks again for the great comments! It's very encouraging after my very short time framing, not even a year yet. The ripple frame is a modified R&H A644 with a beveled slip also from R&H. I like the A644 moulding a lot but I thought the outside edge was a bit dull so I added a fu...

Thank you so much for those comments!! It’s made my day!



Matt.

I don't know for sure but isn't this more to do with how the mitres are being cut rather than the underpinning? I'm sure someone who knows more will offer more help than I can.

Thanks Mark. I love them too, the tabernacle frames and Dutch ripple are definitely my favourite. I think going online is the key to selling these types of frame. There’ll be buyers out there, just need to get seen by them.
Cheers.
Matt.

Hello Allan. Thanks for your comments. I'm fairly new to stacking frames so for me it's a case of looking at mouldings online and guessing which ones go well together then buying lengths in and experimenting. Of course, the more mouldings I buy the more I can physically hold them together and have a...

Hello all. Thanks for the comments but this post is from December last year. Not sure why it's popped up again? Here's a couple of frames I have just finished though. Hope you like them. Nice tabernacle frame for a vintage print tabernacle.jpg And a dutch ripple style frame just finished today rippl...

Hello everyone I have this little pencil drawing that someone gave me. The problem is it’s been cut out from a sketch pad and the cropped edge too close to the image to go in a mount. Any framer’s tricks on how to get around this other than just sticking it down to another bit of paper? It doesn’t h...

Hello everyone I recently decided to buy a small cheap band saw and after a lot of research, I had one of these arrive on my doorstep last weekend. 55938FC7-FE5A-47C8-96E9-D37B4D961D64.jpeg After some watching of YouTube videos and some tweaking and tinkering, got it set up and working quite nicely....

Hello Allan. I'm just over the Forth from you in East Lothian. Always great advice here!

Matt

Hey John. Welcome to the forum. We have some similarities in that I'm also a bass player (double, not bass guitar), I live in Scotland too (East Lothian) but unlike you, I've only been framing for less than a year. I work from my conservatory just now which isn't ideal. It's pretty small and when it...

I'd have had the Morso if I lived closer.
