Two firsts for me.

Post by David McCormack »

Double sided frames and painted bevels.

The white-core was too bright for the old look of the Russian menus so I painted them using 811 removable tape to mask the surface paper. Used strap hangers so there was no cord/wire across the reverse side of the menu. Moulding is R&H 266 oak with a subtle lime wax and dark stained oak slip SL1. The double sided mount/glass package is taped together and everything is held in with painted pine fillets screwed to the main moulding.

Very nicely done David.
The oak works well with the menus. And the finishing adds a touch of class.
I should think you and the customer are both please with the finished article

Good advice is best learned, rather than simply listened to.
