Buttoned Up Picture Frame Woodworking Plan

31-MD-00506 - Buttoned Up Picture Frame Woodworking Plan

Riftsawn grain and ebonized square pegs for your favorite 8x10 inch photo. What appear to be fussy mortise and tenon joints pinned with pyramid-shaped square pegs, are actually easy-to-build half-laps adorned with decorative shop-made buttons. And do not worry about searching for expensive straight-grained lumber either. We will show you how to obtain this stock from ordinary fir boards, and how to accent it with ebonized buttons. This picture frame can either stand on its own or be hung on the wall.
