For the past few years I’ve been helping my
good friend, the artist Francis Cunningham frame his paintings for exhibitions.
Early on we decided that a simple walnut strip frame would be a good
choice and that’s how I’ve been framing his work. Some good reasons for framing
with a strip frame is:
1 - it is simple and affordable
2 - a strip frame is easily
removed and reused if a client wants to have the painting re-framed in
something different
3 -
a strip frame will help to protect the edge and corners of a painting
when being moved or stored. To see my video on how I frame a painting
with a strip frame, click the link See Video

Thanks, Jon! Wonderful, informative video! Am going to try it with an odd size painting rather than have to get a custom one. Thanks for sharing!
Like your stop block and mitre box. I would like to make that. Like the molding runway, neat ideas. Thank you!
Btw, your 1959 painting you restored is a pier it seems to me and if you rotate it 90 degrees counterclockwise you may agree, cheers.

Do wood stain is acid-free?
An fascinating discussion is value comment. I think that it is best to write extra on this matter, it won’t be a taboo topic however generally people are not enough to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers click here
