In our shop the boss cuts and joins the frames and I do the mats fillets, and fitting. Every once in a while, he brings me a frame that is not square. It’s a couple of degrees more than 90 on two opposite corners, and a couple of degrees less on the other two. I think that’s called a parallelogram? He says the moulding was warped.
Does anyone else produce the occasional parallelogram frame? What causes it? Would you make another frame when you realize the problem, or would you cut your glass and mat to fit the frame?
