Custom Tabernacle
This is a tabernacle style frame that was designed by our customer. He was able to use software to make us a picture of what he wanted. We built a skeleton for the frame and then added the individual sections. It is hand carved bass wood and finished in 22k gold over red clay. It is over 11 feet long and 6 feet wide. The artwork for the frame was discovered in the basement of a church. They were almost going to throw it out because of it's condition but when they got it appraised they were pleasantly surprised and it justified making this extraordinary frame to display it. The pictures below show some of the steps during the production process.

I've got a couple of your samples on my wall, gifts from a fellow frameshop owner. I may have to take a look at my budget (and more importantly, my wall space) to see if I can fit in a few more!
