5 Species picture frame

Every so often we are inadvertently given the opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life. I was reached out to and asked to make a frame for a picture that was to be a surprise gift. I took up the project and fabricated a custom frame for a picture that I was told held great import to the recipient. These requests come our way every so often and we think little about them. When someone approaches me for a gift to be passed along all thought of payment is suspended. The blessing of being able to perform this small duty is payment enough for me. This time especially so. Although I didn't know at the time this custom framed print was to be left at the resting place of the man whose wife and son missed him with words so heartfelt they could not be uttered. Sometimes there are things that after we have accomplished them and the realization of what we have done settles in we must enlarge our spirits to understand. The dichotomy of my situation is unique. I stand humbled and proud at the same time.

Some of my most creative moments have been when I've had to cover up an error in my woodworking.

Made a couple of things that turned out like that.

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

Beautiful frame and a nice story to go with it.
Somehow my first post got on the wrong project......probably my fault.....
The frame and the story behind it are great.   You desire a well done.
