... this seemingly simple project. I don't know why it took me so long, but it did. This frame is the result of a couple threads that I posted about ebonizing oak and sanding glass.
The frame is made from red oak that I ebonized with vinegar/steel wool solution and an ebony stain. I finished it off with some amber shellac (thats what I had). The backer board is also RO done the same way. I finally got the glass to fit in after sanding it for about an hour this afternoon. :BangHead:
I like the way it turned out. I hope my mom likes it, being her christmas gift and all. Let me know what you guys think.
These are just close ups of the piece of art. My friend pressed these many years back.
