After spending 11 years hand crafting and finishing picture frames for a variety of customers in LA, such as, directors, designers, artists, actors, architects, teachers, and transplants like myself I decided to take my skill to a country wide platform in which to share a different kind of picture frame. A frame not worried about cutting cost to bring you something made by machine but by hand and careful patience.

I buy high quality hardwoods from a local planning mill then I cut custom sizes on my wood chopper which is manual using 19th century technology. Once each piece is cut the frame is built and sanded smooth sealed and finished to the exact look that the art requires. It's a process that demands a few hours for each frame. Which in turn allows each frame to have it's own unique look which is important to me. The other materials such as glass which is hand-cut as well as mat boards and foam board backings are all of framing quality to help preserve cherished artworks for a lifetime. You might call this process organic as the wood is raw at first and the finished product you may call archival as it lends to preserve.
