project :: frames

the before

Today I went to the op-shops located on the Annerley strip and came across these three wooden frames. I'm going to sand them back and stain them - and then frame stuff I have that isn't framed or re-frame stuff that's not framed well.

To do:
  • Buy Danish oil
  • Sand frames
  • Read up on coating wood
  • Coat the wood
  • Clean glass
  • Place the artwork/photos
  • Put up on picture shelf
  • Finish with posting end result
Fingers crossed for me finishing my project!

03/02/2011 - I worked on this today. Went to Bunnings and got stuck looking at stains, polish, varnish and oils. I decided on Danish Oil in the end but if it doesn't work out I have another idea for White Polish. I tell you the science to sealing wood is crazy, no wonder the people down the bottom of my road have had troubles with their fence.
