Spalted Maple, oil paint
Tools Used
Table saw, miter saw’ planer, router, sander
Location

Made this Spalted maple frame for an 8-1/2“ x 11” oil on wood panel interpretation of Emily Dickinson’s, “Hope is the Thing with Feathers”. Since the frame was to be part of the painting, it was finished with a glaze of thinned oil paints. I think the spalt showing through the glaze provided an aged look fitting for the painting, but I definitely prefer naturally finished wood.

Thanks Pottz! In this case color seemed appropriate, but I generally prefer the ”black and white look “ of lacquered spalt.

Nicely done. 

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