The newest addition to our growing line of elegant and affordable framing options. Accommodates artwork from 1/4" to 1.5" deep. Just insert your canvas or panel into the frame from the back, secure with the included L-brackets, and hang! Does not include glass or backing. Available in unfinished Doug Fir, Black, and White. The Doug Fir is kiln dried and 2" deep. Ready to stain or paint to your taste, or to leave as is. |
Can I use these frames with paper/posters?
Yes, but you’d have to first mount your artwork on a board or panel and to improvise a way to and a way to hold the backing in place. You can use a tab gun or framing tape or even the metal L-brackets we will include. You can screw just one side of the L-bracket to the frame.
What's a good source for plexiglass?
Home Depot carries plexglass and will cut it for you.
Can I get samples of your frames?
Yes. We can include up to 3 samples with your next order, free of charge. Just put a note in the comments field at the end of check-out saying, “Please send me corner samples of [A], [B], and [C]. I understand that I can get 3 samples free of charge."
Alternatively, you can place an order just for samples. We'd charge $5 per corner sample, plus shipping. Please email us what you’d like samples of and your shipping address for a quote.
Can I mix colors/finishes?
You can mix colors for any size, with the possible exception of 36x36”, 30x48”, and 24x60", provided the order is for a pack of the most expensive color in the pack. So, for example, you could buy a 6 pack of 11x14” gold frames and ask us to send 3 gold and 3 Doug Fir. The items being substituted must not be more expensive than the ones they are replacing. You would do that by putting a note in the comments field at the end of check-out about the exact mix of colors/finishes in your pack. In the case of color substitutions for 36x36”, 30x48”, and 24x60", we may be able to accommodate you. It depends on the particulars. Please email us to confirm.
Can I mix sizes?
You may be able to. It depends on the size of the order and on whether or not the particular combination of sizes can be packaged easily for safe transit. Please email us first to make sure the combination you have in mind is doable.
Can I buy a single frame?
We sell singles only when they are part of a larger order comprising several frames. If that’s your situation, then please email us the entire list of frames you’d like to order, along with your shipping address, for a complete quote. If you purchase a 3 or 6-pack (as the case might be for the particular size), you can request us to mix and match colors provided the order is for a pack of the most expensive color in the pack. So, for example, you could order a 3-pack of 24x24” 2.5” deep Walnut frames and ask us to send you 2 Walnut and 1 Maple frame. The items being substituted must not be more expensive than the ones they are replacing. You would do that by putting a note in the comments field at the end of checkout about the exact mix of colors/finishes in your pack.
How do I repair open corners?
Repair is pretty easy, if you have the right tools. You need a corner clamp and some wood glue. You can get those at home depot and on Amazon. A clamp costs about $10-$15. It’s good to have one around the studio in case of accidents. Here is a set of 4 on Amazon for about $18, (https://a.co/d/1tj5xnN). Just work the glue in to the open joint with your finger-tip, clamp, wipe clean excess glue and wait overnight. For larger sizes, you can further re-enforce the corners from the back with flat L-brackets. Alternatively, you can drive thin nails with small heads from the outside edges of the frame and then cover the pin holes with some wood filler.
What do I do if the frame is too tight?
If the canvases are a little bigger than the nominal size, you may still be able to salvage things. There are a couple of potential solutions. One involves making the frames a little bigger. The other, making the canvases a little smaller. If the fit is close, you may be able to sand down the frame a bit right at the problem spot to make more room. Alternatively, if the paintings have bulges in the corners where the canvas is folded and tucked, you can try to hammer the bulges down to make them flatter. If that doesn’t work, you can cut open the folds and cut out some of the excess canvas. You can then glue the seam back up.
