Here's an interesting work of art. It's a stained glass piece, and our clients wanted to be able to enjoy both sides of the piece.
Enter Jimmy and his talents in the woodshop. First he cut down the moulding with the table saw so that the rebate depth was half the thickness of the stained glass.
Then he ran it through the saw again to widen the coverage of the rebate so that it would cover the caming of the piece.
To protect the moulding finish during its ride through the table saw, he put ultra-low tack tape on the face of the frame. This he easily peeled it off afterwards, leaving the frame's pristine finish.
After cutting and joining two identical frames with his new and improved moulding, Jimmy glued them together around the piece and fastened the frames with countersink screws.
Then we filled all screw holes and the long seam where the two frames meet with a custom coloured nail hole filler.
The finished piece will hang in a window on chains attached to eye hooks in the top rail of the frame.
