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

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.

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.
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.
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.

A note from the bench
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.
