Unassembled Floater Frames

We are now offering unassembled frames with dovetail slots and keys.  Assembly is very easy, and the corners come out great.  See photos below and check out this link for instructions and more info.

Apart from the savings on shipping, customers love the ease of storage.

Rather than sell enitre frames, we sell individual sticks in packs of 2.   To make a complete frame, you would order two 2-packs, for a total of 4 sticks.  For example, for a 36x48" frame, you'd order a 2-pack of 36" sticks and a 2-pack of 48" sticks.  To make a 48x48" frame, you'd order two 2-packs of 48" sticks.

For artwork up to 1.5" deep:

2.5" deep DOUG FIR       2.5" deep MAPLE       2.5" deep WALNUT      2.5" deep BLACK             2" deep BLACK
2" deep WHITE                2" deep GOLD            2" deep SILVER           2" deep Black w/ Gold      2" deep Black w/ Silver

The maple and the fir have the same profile. The main difference between the maple and doug fir is that the maple is lighter in color and less grainy than the fir.  It's also more consistent in appearance from stick to stick. The fir is reddish in color, more grainy, and is more variable in appearance.   The fir is also lighter in weight than the maple;  the maple is a harder wood. The doug fir is more rustic/warmer.  The maple is more muted and slightly heavier.
We have two kinds of black floater frames.  The 2.5" deep ones have one kind of finish, 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 can't see the wood grain under the paint.
