Framed Art Gallery

A COLLECTION OF SOME OF OUR HAND CRAFTED PICTURE FRAMES:

 

We are dedicated to the preservation of life's precious memories. Our frames, like our boxes, are hand crafted from solid wood that we mill ourselves. We create our own profiles on tools that we operate by hand. Most frame shops purchase lengths of frame stock that is manufactured elsewhere from composite materials, coated with formed veneer and then cut to size. We manufacture our own frames, hand cut our own mats, do our own mounting, practice preservation framing and do it at a fraction of the cost that most frame shops chage.
