With lockdown still on and the timber pile shrinking I have been moving on to some smaller projects. I was given a two foot long wharf beam offcut a while ago. It was full of nails and old bolt holes but beneath the surface was brightly coloured purpleheart, ideal for some picture frames.
The corners were splined with oak and a boarder was cut from leftover MDF, spray painted black. Some nail holes were left in for character.
Also in the leftover pile was some 25mmx25mm oak, which I ebonised with a solution of white vinegar and steel wool.
All up, eight picture frames as gifts for family.
