Picture Frame Workshop
-
Bring your best 8”x10” picture to the shop and we’ll lead you through the process from start to finish.
To get started, 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.
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.
