I had a pattern request a while back for this and just got it cut. It is an order I have from a guy that wanted to buy it at the next show I am setting up at in a few weeks. Pattern made by TDpainter, thank you.

Very nice. Your customer should be very pleased. How thick is it and what blade did you use?

Thanks, it is 1/4" BB ply and I used a #1 UR. Walmart is starting to tick me off because they are changing up their frame selection, as well as other stores too. They all are the thin ones and I rather cut 1/4" than 1/8" for portraits. The 1/4" I buy from Lowes, yes I know it is the crappy kind with voids, has more grain look to it than 1/8" I find at like Michael's. That is why I rather have 1/4" for portraits, unless I mill up a hardwood for a portrait.

The King looks quite regal.  Nice work.

Hi Dustin:
Good job on the lion.
Have you tried making your own picture frames
It's really not that hard and you get exactly what you want
Try it you'll be glad you did

Thanks all, and Fab4 yes I have. Where can you buy glass to go in them though?

Nice work Justin.

Lowes used to sell plain glass, and Hobby Lobby does also. It's not hard to cut.
