Make a beautiful wood-stained frame to set off a print or painting, or a tortoiseshell frame to show off the photographs of a loved one. With plenty of advice and clear explanation of techniques, this book will help you to fill your home with artworks framed by your own creations.

Format:Hardcover
I own a number of framing books and have also seen others in book shops and libraries. This is my favourite of all. I find it very inspiring, it makes me want to create some frames and put them up in my living room whether I find something to put in them or not. It does not contain the tiresome waffle that so many books try to fill themselves with. What it does say is very clear and makes understanding of the how-to-do easier. The pictographical complimentation to the text is a master coreographpy making need for text more economic. This ergonomic and graphically beautiful book is one for both amateur and professional framer to keep on the coffe table, to brose through over and over. This gives you the craft side of framing you need to compliment and diversify away from from basic joinery of mass manuractured mouldings and techniques.
