A customer of mine from Manhassett, New York asked if I could build a hand-carved & finished wood frame. Not I, said the Little Red Framer.
His email description calls for a finished wood frame with decorative details common only to gilded frames -- I told him those decorative features are made of gesso, and then applied to the wood frame, which is then gilded. I also told him that I do not possess the hand-carving expertise he requires.
Anybody know a very good "from scratch" hand-carved frame builder in the New York area? Please give me contact information and I will forward it to my customer.
