A friend of mine has a signed Gretzky hockey stick he asked me if I could frame for him. He showed me a framed stick in Costco (Road show item), and he has other ideas. (The mat cutting was awful, I would be ashamed to ask $1300.00 for that job with all those f#$$ ups).
So I read in the archives here and like some of the ideas, but they lead to more questions.
Talk about mylar tape pulled through and attached to the back of the mounting board. Is the mat board strond enough or is it backed with something (like hardboard, gator board or what?). How to attach the mylar at the back?
We will probably do a presentation with a photo, some netting (hockey net), and a puck (I like the idea of the puck coming thru the glass. If he wants to do a jersey we could tie that in too...Leads to the next question....
Stitching down the jersey attatched to a form....Punch holes thru the mat board with an awl to pull the thread through? Never done it before but I get the general idea..
Thanks in advance for the ideas folks!
