Very nice!   Did you make the frame as well.   I wonder if anyone sells frame making material to the public.    I asked a few shops that sell frames, but none of them offered strips of ready made frame making lumber.

I made the frame from 1 x 3 Aspen I purchased at Menard's. Cut the basic sizes, ran across the router for the finished edges then cut the miters and glued up. No oil or stain, just several coats of Zinser spray shellac, lightly sanded between coats.

I wonder if anyone sells ready made frame material in long strips.   I'm sure that's how frame shops buy it, then cut and glue or nail it together.   But then everyone would just go buy and make their own, so it's sale may be restricted.
