This one came in yesterday. It happened to fit a frame that I made up a month ago from leather that used to me my recliner at home. The recliner broke beyond repair so I salvaged the leather from it.

Mat is B8677 Tusk with a single V-Groove and it will get Museum glass. Frame size is 11x14 and sold it for $250 (her budget to frame it and she wanted the museum glass). If it were custom, it would have been $380.

Dave, are you sure the Woodmaster will mill leather..... I was thinking it only did wood... :D

If you want 500 or so feet of that profile, lets talk. $1,600 can buy a whole lot of moulding run for you.... and no sawdust, and no buying whole units of lumber.

Looks really good on the Curtis.
 
Gives a whole new meaning to La-z Boy furniture Gallery! Like our recliners? Check our moulding........L.:thumbsup:
 
Is that anything like the old Belsaw? It did a number of milling operations...none of them very well. Not to steal bread from Baer's bowl, but there are several options for a variety of unfinished mouldings to be had, and they all do a much better job than an all-in-one milling machine can.

Dave, next time you lace a corner on a frame, would you photo-document it and post a tutorial? That's a really good look. Ever thought of getting some pigskin from Tandy and using white lacing for a football frame?
 
You made this from your recliner leather? Now that's
recycling!

Beautiful frame. You could start a side business with this. Bring me your old furniture....

Might be all the rage!
 
Does is smell like a combo of butt and cheetos?

For fun you could poke some change down in the back?

Seriously though pretty cool.

Carry on.
