Wood burning of a pic taken during a hike at Rocky Fork State Park in TN. As the pyrography project neared completion I decided to make a frame ( vs store bought) to match. Decided on this Greene and Greene design I saw in Robert Lang's article in Popular Woodworking, adjusting the dimensions to fit the 8-1/2×11 wood burning. The wood is a reclaimed joist from a 1950s craftsman home my wife and I bought and rebuilt as a home for her dad. You can see one of the old nail holes in the top stile. I think it's oak, but as much as I like to build, admittedly my wood knowledge is lacking. Mortise and tenon construction with a bit of a deviation from the article as the radii were formed on the router table. For the square pegs, some scrap ?, fit in drilled and chiseled mortises as I haven't mastered my mortiser. Sanded to 320, a light coat of dark walnut danish oil followed by 2 coats of amber shellac rubbed on and the a couple coats of paste wax.Thanks for looking
