Good stuff from a friend of mine.

My latest major work now framed and hanging in the studio. I am particular about the frames I put on my paintings. I firmly believe that the frame becomes a part of the art—not just something to wrap it in. For the past couple of years I have designed my own frame mouldings individually for each piece. This frame is cut from red oak that was slab sawn in 6/4”. I cut it so that the edge of the piece that appears quarter-sawn is on the face. I wanted the long, straight grains to focus the eye inward. I supplemented that by putting a beaded edge around the outside. I patina’d this and then sanded the flats—leaving the curves and inner edge dark.
