Our red frames are more than just another mahogany color. Pictures hardly capture the depth of the red pigment. We came across this color purely by accident and since that time it has become one of our best sellers to many happy customers.
Shown above is Poplar hardwood stained red. As you can tell it has a very mello grain pattern. Some people prefer a more pronounced grain pattern
such as Oak which is shown below. Again, the red stands out just as much on either type of wood, yet the stain nor the
clearcoat varnish distorts the grain.
This frame was made special for a customer's club. It is meant to look something like a sailor wheel. To achieve the needed effect, we made two frames fit together and also added the fake bolt heads. Very neat project!

The Blue and Green round frames shown above were special built for a customer. Since that time we have had more requests for the same. Notice that the deep colors still allow the grain pattern of the poplar lumber to come through very clear.
Unless otherwise requested, we use a clear satin conversion varnish with all our frames. We have use this technique for a number of years not only with picture frames, but also with limousine consoles and accessories. This technique makes a very nice, durable finish that will preserve your round, oval, or square picture frames for years to come.
