Craig's favourite picture frames

Some photos of favourites and different styles of unique handcrafted wood picture frames Craig has built in the past.

  • Unique portrait frame— 5×7 antique lumber

    Some real, old "barn" wood found near Vernon, BC in 2014 and purchased as a family portrait frame.

  • 9x12 Driftwood frame

    Driftwood found near Chilliwack, BC in 2017. A simply-shaped, but splendidly-grained custom 9×12 frame.

  • A recent 5×7 live edge frame made from "fire" wood.

    It looks like it is on fire on the right-hand side. It still looks good any way you turn it, though.

  • Naturally-distressed willow wood frame  10×13

    This was an early one, and still a very favorite. I have been searching for more wood like this for many years now. Nothing quite like it, yet...

  • Unique drift wood frame, 6×8

    A funky wood picture frame conceived on the beach.

  • Unusual handcrafted 5×7 root wood frame

    You will see things in this one, if you are not careful. You might see King Kong if you tilt your head hard to the left…

  • Downright crazy 5×7 drift wood

    It's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye.

  • 7×9 drift wood dark walnut stain

    One of the less common picture frame sizes. I think this 7x9 makes an unusual but nice family portrait frame. It is stained dark, and then the high spots become hilights, as they are lightly sanded out.

Read the legendary tales (many of which are, shall we say… unfounded…?) of Craig's adventures hunting for wood and the stories behind some of his frames.
