I was going through my frames this weekend. And got rid of a couple through freecycle. Felt so good to get rid of a couple of 'unfinished' projects! The gal was so happy to get them! That feels good.
We did hardwood flooring in our home and had some pieces left over. We had done some mahgany inserts in the flooring. The guy who finished the flooring for us had some left over boards he gave us, we didn't use them all and stashed them away. Well 3 years later, we pulled them out of the garage and finally did something with them.
DH worked on machining the wood and cutting to the size I wanted. I then applied mahogany stain to make the woodgrain tones more even. When they were dry, I applied paste wax for that hand rubbed patina finish.
For an idea of scale, the prints are 9 1/2" wide and the opening of the frames are 14 1/2".

Here are the pictures DONE! I am now looking for a place to hang two 23" square shell pictures! Just two weeks ago, this was wood in the garage and prints were in a drawer!
