Andrew flattening a rough walnut board on the jointer

Every frame starts as a board.

I don't use premade molding. Just furniture grade hardwood, built from scratch and made to order for your art.

Shop frames

Built like furniture, made for art.

The same hardwoods used for heirloom tables and chairs: walnut, cherry, white oak, hard maple. Cut, joined, and finished by hand for one piece at a time. No molding. No factory. No two exactly alike.

The Canvas Floating Frame

Your canvas, suspended in hardwood so it seems to float, with a thin line of shadow between the wood and the work. It's the piece most people come to me for, and the one they send their friends to.

Built to your exact canvas depth, finished by hand, shipped ready to hang.

The wireless frame light

A rechargeable light that rests on top of your frame and casts warm, even light across your art. No cords, no drilling, no electrician. Made in the USA by Situ Lighting, and the light I recommend for the frames that leave my bench.

Frames for every kind of keeping

How I make them

  • i. I start with lumber, not molding

    Most frame companies buy premade molding by the foot and cut it to size. I start where furniture makers do, with rough sawn, furniture grade hardwood, milled here in my shop. It's slower and it's the difference you feel the moment you pick one up.

  • ii. Nothing I make sits on a shelf

    I don't keep stock. Every frame, even a standard size, is built from scratch when you order it. In a quiet way, that makes every order a custom order: made for you, for your piece, by one pair of hands.

  • iii. Meaning can't be mass produced

    A frame is never really about the frame. It's about the photograph, the painting, the record you can't stop looking at. I make the thing that holds the thing that matters. And I make it like it matters.

Made by a Person

The world is racing to automate everything. I went the other way. Every frame is cut, sanded, and finished by one person. Me. Not faster. Not cheaper. Not for everyone.

Meet the maker

A note from the bench

Every frame that leaves this shop has my hands on it.

If you have a question about a size, a wood, or a piece you're not sure how to frame, email me. I answer every one myself. And if your piece doesn't fit a standard size, tell me about it and I'll tell you how I'd build it.

Custom Made Walnut frames

Custom Made Walnut frames.
These are the most beautiful frames I could have imagined. I purchased 2. One was standard and the second custom size. The owner worked directly with me to make it perfect and even gave me a great deal for the two. I cannot be happier with the frames.

Five stars all around! Andrew is great to do business with. Definitely a craftsman whose care and attention to detail shows in his work. This was my second order from him. The picture does not do the shelves justice but I wanted to include it anyway.

Great Product. Would recommend this site.

Incredible wood work and design. We were gifted a painting of our engagement over Christmas and we thought this floating canvas frame would be perfect. It did not disappoint. Looks beautiful in our home and the work is top quality.

This is the second second shelf we've purchased from the shop. The size was not one of the standard offerings but the custom order was not a problem and was fabricated and delivered on schedule. Shop does excellent work and I would not hesitate to recommend them.
