aplomado Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I framed a pair of rock slabs recently, using a technique suggested by a forum member. I've done this before, and it has always come out well. I used Neilsen Metal Sectional Mouldings for the frame. I got the pieces custom cut by a frame maker, and just had to screw them together and add the wire. This technique works for slabs are fairly square or rectangular. There is overhang on the frames with will let you fudge a bit unevenness, but there is a limit. Neither of these slabs were perfectly rectangular and they worked fine. I used the N117 size frame, because it gives decent depth for the thickness of the rock slab and is also has a slim edge for these small slabs. I have use the N95 frame also; it is good if you want a thicker frame, such as for a large slab. Total price including shipping and hanging hardware for both was $26.61. Send me a PM if you want to know the online frame shop I used. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Those look great. I saved that Neilson idea from most likely the same guy and will use this someday. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
