Grumbler in Training
Hello. First post and please feel free to bash me any way you see fit. I am here to learn from the best of the best and anyone in between.
I want to combine my passion for photography and make my own picture frames from raw wood blanks. And I am going to sell my combination of photograph and frame as fine art. For now I am using garage tools such as a planar, table saw and router table to make my frames. I am perfecting my skills with these tools and I refuse to use any wood filler on any miter joint.
This is the first frame that I made and I did not finish it. To date I have made 2 frames.
I want to use conservation framing techniques to hold my image; I want the image and frame to last a lifetime. I have the basics covered, UV glazing, acid-free matting, damage free hinging, frame sealing tape, dust cover.....
There is 1 aspect that I have not been able to fully grasp. My framed package will consist of glazing, mat, image, mat board, then what? Do I have to use a foam core board after the mat board? Can't I just cover the mat board in frame backing paper and call it done?
Thank you.
