We started making these frames in
response to requests for an elegant and affordable framing
option. These work beautifully!
Just drop canvas into the
the frame, secure in back with the included
brackets
and screws, and hang! Your art will "float" in the
frame.
We have two kinds of black
floater frames. The 1.5 and 2.5 deep ones have one kind
of finish, and the 1.25 and the 2 deep ones, another.
The former is slightly more glossy; the wood grain is visible
under the paint. The latter has an eggshell finish; you
cant see the wood grain under the paint.
We have four kinds
of natural wood frames. They are not stained or
finished in any way, just lightly sanded.
The Doug Fir is reddish in color, typically grainy, and the
warmest, most rustic wood we carry. It's also the most variable
in appearance from stick to stick. The Maple is the lightest and
most muted of our woods. It's less grainy than the Doug Fir and
also more consistent in appearance from stick to stick. The
Maple is a harder wood. The White Oak is a darker than the
Maple; the Walnut is darker still. Neither is grainy. Both are
quite consistent in appearance from stick to stick.The Walnut
and White Oak look especially good when oiled.
