- My niece is a budding photographer and on a family trip to Alaska in 2018 snapped a beautiful photo of a mountain lake.

My brother had it put to canvas and asked me to make a frame for it. After watching a Jon Peters video on floating frames I was inspired. Originally, I was going to paint the frame black...which is why I used the brad nailer in the corners...but, I was so pretty that in the end...I couldn't. The filler is hardly noticeable so it turned out alright. Maybe it's because I live in the Pacific Northwest where I am surrounded by Douglas Fir...but, it I have to say it's one of my favorite woods to work with. I think it's beautiful and nostalgic. There is also something about taking an old board out of scrap pile and finding a gem that can be repurposed into something beautiful. If you have a piece of art on a canvas...don't be afraid to try making a frame for it...it's simpler than you might think!

Absolutely speechless! The frame looks great but I am blown away by your precision, yet again. I could not make a single cut anywhere close to yours and I admire your work so very much1
Thank you, Richard...but, I beg to differ...you could certainly do this work...your attention to detail in model building and origami speaks to a level of precision few are even conscious of...
Well don Stan. I love how you animated the finish going on! 👍
Thanks...I'd like to do a bit more with things like that...adds a bit of interest to an otherwise boring process...now to how to spice up sanding...hmmm....
Capture sanding dust at 60fps, put it in slow motion and change it to sparks? Lol.
Hi my friend. It was a good job as always. It's pleasant to watch you at work. Greetings..👏👏👏👏
Thank you, my friend! 😊
That looks really really nice, Stan! Love the finish against that beautiful canvas.
Thanks so much...I really like Douglas Fir...so in the end I finished it instead of painting it.
That's a beautiful frame and Stan 😊 It really suits the picture and I love it 😊 Blessings to you all 😊 ॐ
Thanks so much! I appreciate it!
Hello my friend.
You have created a beautiful floating frame. Simple and beautiful design. congratulations. See you. big greetings. Stay happy ...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you, my friend! 😊
@@StanCrafted Dear friend, you're welcome. See you. greetings.
Good day eh!!! Very nice. Looks great!!! Take care!
Thanks, Mike! Stay warm and dry up there!
Beautiful simple frame!
Thank you!
I really like the photo and the frame sets it off
Thanks...that photo brings back good memories...just trying to do it justice.
That’s a great idea to use dowels!! I’ll have to try that sometime.
Thanks...I like dowels...lots cheaper than dominoes 😊
Nice frame man, makes the picture even more great
Thanks, Harki!
Very nice! It reminds me a lot of the floating frames I've made in the past videos. I think making the inner frame first seems like a much easier way to do it. I wondered about using the brad nailer in the corners, glad you explained the decision in the description.
Thanks, Grant...yeah, originally it was to be black...but that Douglas Fir is just so hard for me to cover up!!!
Gosh, you're right, that photo is magnificent! But then, so is the frame. Lovely neat work Stan and a very enjoyable vid - I loved the animated paint job. I wonder if I left stuff in my workshop would it just paint itself? Cheers mate.
Thanks so much, Mark...well, as you know my trip to Ireland was the most enjoyable of my life...perhaps the leprechauns I smuggled away have been put to good use. If you are kind to yours...I'm sure they wouldn't mind helping you out a bit as well!
Nice one buddy! I like these framework videos. Really need to make one myself!
Thanks! They don’t take long...I’m going to make a few more!
Hi Stan, Beautiful work as always. The picture really does float in the frame. The only thing I would have done differently, as my father taught me, was to mix some sanding dust with PVA to fill the brad holes. Not a criticism just the way I was taught. Great work Stan. cheers, Huw
Thank you, Huw...that's a tip that most certainly would've led to be better color match! I'll remember that for next time!
@@StanCrafted My pleasure. I've learned a lot from you and watching your videos.
very nice, I may need to do something like this soon. 👍
Thank you, Cleve... I think it’s a nice way to display a picture...you should give it a shot!
parabens pelo seu canal sucesso para voce🙏
Thank you very much, my friend 🙂
very beautiful, Stan. But how are you able to always find pine (at least I believe it's pine) with no knots?
Jon Peters is a great insipration for beautiful frames.
Say bravo to your niece. that photo is stunning
Thank you, Alberto...I live in Oregon...the heart of Douglas Fir. Many of the older buildings here are made with Douglas fir that is nearly knot free. That's just the way it was years ago. Today they call it Clear Vertical Grain Doug Fir...or CVG...and it's very expensive. I just really try to keep my eyes open for it. I got this board...I think...from a demolished school building.
@@StanCrafted interesting. in Italy we import these kind of wood, but it is known as an exterior wood (windows, etc.) I believe that very beautiful piece of furniture will come out with it. I have shaker style in mind
@@MoscaWoodworking Shaker furniture? Wow! I'll look forward to seeing that mate.
I wish I lived close enough to give you some of my Doug Fir...I believe it is a very beautiful wood and would love to see what you could make with it.
@@StanCrafted oh, come on... I'm only 9.000km away. how much will it take by car. ahahahaha
Very nice. Please welcome to my home and stay connected.
Thank you very much.
