Fine Art Framing Home Our Frames About Reviews Contact Us Download Catalog WOODS & FINISHES Hardwoods Hardwoods vary in color and grain, this is part of their natural beauty. The color will change with age and light exposure. We do our best to insure that all four pieces of a frame are similar in appearance. You may choose up to three finishes, one for the outside, one for the top, and one for the inside. Standard inside color is matte black (MB), you must specify if you want something different. (There may be an additional charge.) In this age of mass production we take pride in old fashioned handmade quality craftsmanship. Below are samples of just some of our fine handcrafted frames. For more information on ordering a handcrafted frame.
