[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 4185296, member: 7157"] A few years back, my 80-something neighbor cut down a big sycamore on his property, and graciously gave me the trunk of the tree to have milled into lumber. It turned out to have some nice spalting, and I’ve made some furniture from it. Right before Thanksgiving, he lost his wife of 50+ years to Alzheimer’s; his daughter told me he found a plain old black hinged picture frame and put in it his fave pics of him with his wife. I got a similar-sized frame from Amazon with black hardware, and I made this picture frame out of the same sycamore, using the hardware from the other frame. The backs are made from nice pieces of alder. I think it turned out decently; I’m hoping my neighbor will appreciate the origin of the wood ;) [ATTACH type="full"]439067[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
