Yesterday, Saturday morning, Tammy asked me to make a “Floating Frame” for one of her 36″x 48″ x 3/4″ paintings. I made the frame so the painting would have a strong 1/8″ border to float in and would be recessed by about the same.
I bought more 8 foot lengths of the 2-1/2″ x 3/4″ primed white stock.
Then I fired up my Bonamassa Pandora station and got busy.
I ripped some of it in half for the inner frame and mounted it an inch back from the front of the frame using glue and 1-1/8′ brads.
I hate those UPC stickers. 
I should have taken more time to clean up the glue. 
Filling holes 
We ended up getting the Spiced Wine. 
I bought a Wagner Flexio 3000 
It made short work of this frame 
About 1 hour and… 
3 coats later… 
It’s definitely the same shade 
as the sample but 
it’s not quite as dark. 
Watching 
the 
paint 
dry.
I drilled some over-sized holes through the frame and ran some 1-1/4″ screws from the back into the frame of the canvas.
So here is Oh in its new “Spiced Wine” floating frame:
I’ll hang it tomorrow, it’s Miller time.
Ok, so it was a week later but it’s hung now.
Taken with my phone so add a grain of salt to these shots.
