A couple from today - I hope it's the photo but this doesn't look right to me now - unequal spaces. Anyway it's the presedential chain of the National Dairymens' benevolent Institution 1847-2009.
Moulding Simons 5412-7008 - which is silver and not gold like it looks, Arqadia dark blue suedette board which also lines the foam board spacers. Nielsen Clearcolour plus UV glass. Mounted with tags, stitches and melinex straps. Oh, and I told them I'd write out the bit in the title aperture in calligraphy, but they insisted on an engraved plaque - trouble was it was done so it had to be orientated landscape - portrait would have been better and I did explian that before they had it done - ah well)

Below is one I would have had to be beaten in to doing on my oval 6 - (what am I talking about - it wouldn't have fitted on the turntable - it's about 39x30"!) table plan for a wedding - laid out just as the tables will be, top aperture has rounded corners, 5 mins or so to plot. Alphamat brushed silver board
Naval cert of competency - it looks crooked because it is crooked! It's on parchment and had been folded in to a tight box shape - the creases are 'W' shaped and the conservator I use didn't want to know, so I encapsulated it and framed it warts and all, to show both sides.
Moulding Arqadia 221 737 004 with matching slip between a double mount. UV glass on front.
More double sided - self-explantory what the artwork is

Moulding Simons ARN-1with tiny antique silver slip - many do it but Nielsen's ref is W11044 - UV glass on the front again.
Very interesting bit on it though - lady that brought it in owns a huge amount of agricultural land around here. Main business is a PYO farm with a farm shop. Jack Cohen (founder of Tescos) was at the birthday bash and gave her a written order, on the menu/programme, for a shedload of sprouts!!!
As mentioned on another thread, I have just the one spring on my Morso at the mo' - and this worried me ....

Count your fingers - hopefully you've still got ten, if you carry on you may have one less soon.
This topic is getting a bit long now. All the photos have to reload every time I check it out. Maybe worth considering a new topic for each fabulous framing job or two?
Yeahbut - it's finding them - and then fitting them, well, one of them, or maybe I should replace both and keep the old one as a spare. The Morso stands on a 'tray' we made so that we can empty it like a fire grate. It's a pain lifting it off and on, which we'd have to as where it is there's no room to get behind it.
The way things are work-wise I think I'm looking at about Feb - maybe I should back that bungee up in case the other spring goes?
Bottle it with a posh label and sell it.
