Someone I know wants me to frame a block of wood that his wife chopped in half with her hand. Any ideas?

I'm sorry, I have to say this before Ron does: You could put it in a CHOP frame!!!!
Shadow Box it.
Your welcome, glad I could help.

Include the hand in the frame?
Or make two frames. One with each piece of wood in each. Doubles the sale! (hand optional)

makarrah, forgive them, the holiday rush has gone to their heads.
I would put the wood in a shadow bow, and don't forget to add a picture of the wife. As for mounting the wood, there are many ways to do it. Just check the archives on mounting. Just remember that you are dealing with an object that is FULL of acid. Keeping that in mine, I would try to float the wood off the backing so that it won't contaminate the rest of your package with it's acid.
Good luck.

I think it's lovely that your customer is proud of his wife for being so handy.
Wooden you be?
As for attaching the block inside the frame, I'd use chop sticks.
This whole question is giving me a splitting headache.

And you think the hand is bad. A mine would be worse . . .

Hope you're going to mount both pieces of wood. It'd look really neat.
If you do it with the grain, chop w/hand, that is, it ain't too hard.
Kit, I'll pray for ouy......

Now that's a switch...protecting the framing from the acidic artwork! Good point though.

Hiya,
I think set up like a bridge collapsed in the middle in a very deep shadowbox would be great. perhaps the use of silks in the backing to give it an asian feel. Fun stuff

Gee thanks Mark... I spell one word wrong, and you have to point it out. Can I help it if the "e" is near the "d"? I wanted to say, "Keeping that in mind..." But noooooo, you have to pick on me.

How about having the top leg of the frame broken downwards also? Tricky to cut the glass for though, you could easily have a proper top support hidden behind the frame.

No, I really just need helping mounting it. I have never done that. I only really have experience with prints and canvas mostly--nothing odd. I do not work at a place that knows a whole lot or does archival stuff or anything funky. I know all the terms that you all are using (like "float")but I don't have the capability to do it. It is for a friend. I just need to know how to get it to stay. Will a certain type of glue hold or shall I try to figure out how to build a shelf(ha ha!)?
Ahhhhh!!!
