We really do that?

I just wanted to share how we do business. We can provide detailed quotes with nearly every aspect of the framing job including itemized pricing for each component. We ENCOURAGE you to take the quote to competitors to get an apples-to-apples price comparison.

Here is an example of a Japanese reprint of “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” by Katsushika Hokusai. The customer wanted to go with a HANDCRAFTED walnut frame with maple contrasting splines and chamfered edges. This was finished in a simple Briwax Clear finish giving a nice satin top coat. The matting was a traditional double mat in “White Wash” top mat and “In A Fog” (light blue) inner mat. This was for a teens room and UV coated glass was not needed, so new TruVue Premium Clear protects the piece. Due to the size, we opted to go with Wall Buddies to hang the picture due to its size and weight.

We can do most estimates and quotes over the phone or you can stop by the shop for what we believe is a unique experience. Most frames are done in a few days or a week with no compromise on quality or workmanship. We are low-volume shop and take tremendous pride in the work we do and guarantee satisfaction.

Some projects, I do just because….whatever the reason…

The new owner gave me OK to post….he’s pretty pumped.

I think I saw these for sale on eBay for $45 or so…if you buy one and bring it to me, we can print photos of your family and/or friends, or whatever you want and do your own!

The Duesenberg set is going to Indiana! I got a call from an interior designer in Indianapolis and she is part of a charity program to do a make-over of a historic mansion (https://showhouseindy.org). The previous owner used to have 2 Duesenbergs and there is a bar area they will be decorating in the basement, of which one of the props will be this framed set.

They will be offered for sale there; a good chance of a sale as the Duesenberg cars were manufactured in India along with the Auburns and Cords. They are also going to see if the Auburn-Cord museum is willing to bring one down for the showing....doesn't hurt to ask.

These framed ads took me several months to acquire and about half came out of the magazine which I researched and purchased in its entirety. They came from 1934/1935 Vanity Fair and Country Life magazines....all original. The series (or campaign) is referred to as the “He Drives…/She Drives…” and never shows any cars or even mentions them, just presenting affluent people in regal settings who are imaginary owners, these were all illustrated by Paul Gerding. The company went out of business and sold to Cord in 1937.

SOLD: Weaver Gallery Steve Steigman Porsche 911 Targa Blown Away Poster

I really didnt want to sell it as it has been hanging on my foyer for the last year, but worked a deal with a buyer in California and will ship it to them.

So what was the first thing I did? Bought another poster of this…I have yet another of this one framed and also the Man in Chair Blown Away as well an and plan to just keep those as long as possible in my personal collection.

Also picked up a very nice canvas backed Lange Ski poster which I got a nice deal on from the original owner (a sponsored skier for Lange). Not sure what I will be doing with it yet. Some stuff of this quality I just set aside for some future retail store offerings.

Framed African Queen on Linen

This was a job and a half, but quite satisfying working out all the structural and mounting components. Customer went with a stacked moulding, Gold outer and black inner moulding, along with a gold matching spacer.

The original art was a 31” x 39” acrylic on linen. For the mounting, I decided to extend the linen a few inches and do a cross stitch-style lining as I didnt want to do anything that wouldn’t be reversible, but needed to do something that would ensure long-term flatness…I also used GatorFoam to give overall rigidity and limit bowing. Just the mounting took me the greater part of a day and another day for the rest of the work on frame. For the stacked moulding being different heights, I cut and beveled a spacer, then using a gold Rub-N-Buf product on the edge to match the gold frame.

Signage on a Budget…

I don’t always have the big advertising budget I would like so have a tendancy to make signage myself I’d possible.

I am in a metal warehouse so figured why not just get a big roll of magnet sheet and cut letters out….more than half the price than buying custom letters made. And we get to use our proprietary SecondMoonshot font that Carrie made based on her own handwriting.

I’ll stick them to the outside of the building at some point.

Egyptian Papyrus on Burlap Backing

This took a significant amount of research to deal with the mounting and even more time to do the actual mounting. I didn’t want to sew around the edges as they were already starting to unravel. Decided to carefully sew between the papyrus with single stitches spaced approx 6” apart and secured them in the back. Came out amazing!

This is the last of a set of 5 “small” ones at 24” x 33”…

ECU Framed Football Jersey - Pirate Ready!

I have been working with a young graduate from ECU for several months on a passion project of his, which was to come up with a “piraty” frame for his football jerseys. All the credit goes to him for the design, and the key component was that he had an artist friend paint a backgound water color which we then drymounted to a rigid substrait, for which the jersey would rest upon. We selected a nice shadow box solid oak molding and embellished it with oak spacers which were near perfectly matched to the frame. The result of this one is awesome.

And this was the mistake one! Meaning we got the size we needed for the art off and had to get a 2nd one made which is larger, that is why the shoulders of the jersey are so close to the left/right edges…but he had an extra Jersey, so he will gift this one to a relative.

Once we finish the 2nd jersey, I will post it as well.

(He gave permission to post this)

Framing a collection of Egyptian Papyrus

A new customer came in with a collection of 6 Egyptian papyrus (papyri?) … and no, not from 2 AD or anything…. to be framed, 5 of the 6 were large averaging in size around 25” x 36”. The largest is a whopping 36” x 77”. The largest one and one of the smaller 5 will need to be sown as they are mounted into a burlap type material.

I finished the first one which was to have a black background. To help hide the hinging, decided to use a black hinging tissue along with Klucel-G adhesive which works well with a strong bond - you can’t see the hinges at all which was the goal. This one took a little longer pretty much accounting for a day for the mounting (a lot of drying time). I’ll make a few minor tweak to the process on the others and trudge forward!

Latest Inlay Corner Moulding Sample

I thought I would play around with a variation on the corner inlay. This one has a Walnut base with a Maple inlay, just picked some pieces I had around, but any woods can be selected.

Zabrina saw some cork coasters somewhere and thought I could use my wood burner to brand the coasters. Simple and worked out ok.

Overview and assembly of our vinyl record frame

SecondMoonshot Custom Picture Framing - Standup Mirror Refresh Project. My wife and daughter went to an estate sale and found a nice standup mirror but it had a gold metal frame. I wasnt able to remove the metal frame, so used it as an accent and made a walnut cap to go over it showing 1/8” of the gold. Solid walnut frame with chamfered edges, finished in back stain and top coat with Arm-R-Seal Gloss. Similarly finished easel back.

We also sell some framed art and started placing it around the shop. Some more unframed to browse through and get framed to jump start your decor. Movie poster, vintage ads, and a wide mix of this and that.
