Large Tabernacle Project

Post by Orde02 »

Hello everyone.

Just thought I'd share a progress pic of a quite complicated but fun project I'm working on.
Almost all of it is constructed from off the shelf mouldings from Rose and Hollis. Can you recognise any?

Regards

Matt

Actually, I think that you may have just given me a great idea! I have some smaller mouldings which may just look great on a smaller tabernacle framed mirror. I've already got the mouldings, so it's not a hard decision and I also got some salvaged mirror glass as well. The mouldings are cheap ones, which I sometimes use these mouldings for building stacked moulding frames. I got a good stock so I may as well use them!

It looks like you have graduated from being a basic picture framer into being a frame maker. Good work
