We use select hard maple wood that is custom milled locally specifically for our frames. We hand-select our wood stock to minimize the natural variation in maple. We use maple due to its hardness and visual appeal. Our frames are cut, joined, sanded and painted in house at our shop. We use thumbnail joining in our frames.
Our painted frames are finished after joining to eliminate visible corner joins, this is especially critical in white frames to eliminate corner seams. Our focus is quality at all steps in our process. Our wood moulding shares the same profile, which was designed to offer the best in appearance and depth for most images and mounting types.
