framemaker lesson
I built a wooden frame to enclose a 44″ x 7″ panoramic photo of a Florida cypress swamp. While the end result looks very nice, the big lesson learned from this project is: don’t use bevelled moulding when making frames. It causes problems making the 45 degree angle corner cuts.
Suzan and I picked out some mahogany moulding at the RE Store which works nicely with the muted greens and browns of the swamp. The photo of Morris Bridge in Tampa, when it was flooded in 2003, was taken by Doug Rathke.
