Picture Frame:
Private Woodworking Team Event

Your most extraordinary moments deserve a custom home. Have your team in the wood shop for our newest private event: building your own picture frame. 

Bring your best 8”x10” picture to the shop and we’ll lead you through the process from start to finish. It’s time to enshrine those wedding vows, adorable new babies or centerpiece-worthy pet portraits.

A wooden table with a potted succulent plant, a vintage hand planer, and a small black bowl, against a white brick wall with two framed pictures and a wooden backdrop.

Overview

To get started on this detail-oriented workshop, you’ll pick between a selection of gorgeous hardwood walnut, red oak or cherry. We’ll cut angles into our pieces, and then use the router table to cut a groove into the back. Use the branding irons to add an extra special insignia. 

No size substitutions. You can bring or buy your own 8”x10” matte insert for smaller pictures.

If you’ve ever questioned why custom framing is so expensive, this is the workshop for you. You’ll leave with a totally unique, professionally-finished frame for less than you’d spend at a custom framing shop, and make some new woodworking friends along the way. 

Completion enables you to do Level 2 Community Workshops or Open Shop Night.
