Dadgumit, I had hoped you were settled in for the evening and feelin' all warm and giving! Oh well, I hope the dinner was great. Afterwards, I know relaxing in a home filled with things you find interesting and remind you of good times in the past is a wonderful way to live. I wish you much more of the same.

Kato Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Hi, did you make those frames yourself? I miss having access to old barn wood to make frames like yours. I'm looking forward to seeing updates of other framed specimens as I've a few I'd like to do myself....how does one deal with the top surface not being flat, is there a glass distance from specimen and how much, how to keep specimen from moving in frame especially when as heavy as your is, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to do a metal frame instead, it is not difficult; I have a post on how to do it here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
