Hi everyone, my name is Jeff and I'm a new member. My background is as a professional artist. I deal primarily in the old west. Like a lot of western artists I liked the compo frames but was never satisfied with compo designs. So for thre past couple years I have been carving new designs and making molds. Our first frames will be coming out in March.
My wife and I live in a small victorian ski town in Montana. We also run a deli / gallery. Rumour has it that the gal that has the frame shop here is about to go on to bigger and better things. With this in mind we are concidering jumping in and filling the void. I own everything from a 60" C&H, to a wall mounted glass cutter, oval cutter, Chasse underpinner and mounting press. Our problem is lack of working knowledge. Though contacts we are concidering sending my wife to get some on the job training from friends with frame shops. I am to busy with commisions and theaching private lessons to get away or I would go. I have some very basic skills (enough to get in trouble.) Time is also a problem as our show season starts in March with the Charlie Russell show. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jeff
