As above, from tree to finished frame, amazing

Wow! Thanks Steve, mindblowing film.
HOW MUCH?

If you have to ask, you can't afford the frame.

Even with a salaried in-house staff (plus overhead) and a no profit calculation, over $100,000.

Something to work on on my days off..... wonderful film. Thanks for posting.

A fraction of the value of the paintings so you could say that they are good value for the money

For me, the best thing about that video was the inspired use of a wooden moulding plane. He could have just fed the wood into a moulder but instead created a hand worked, slightly irregular cutting that gives the whole frame a beautiful organic shape that's probably imperceptible but still strikes the human eye as a pleasing well worn look.
Those of us who are making handfinished frames may know the trick of slightly blunting the mitre corners with some sandpaper and even a careful shaving on the outer edges, smoothed with further sanding to give the frame a little bit of life.

Inspiring! Thankyou for sharing.

Wonderful video - thankyou Steve for posting

Wonderful. Just transported me to a different world, really good video.
