I am beginning to make the frames for my prints. The artistic reason is that I can create the frames to complement the print perfectly.
My reason is that it will be enjoyable, and living in Middle Tennessee lumber forests gives me ready access to many species of lumber. The first addition to the studio is a woodworking bench.
I chose a Yukon 60 inch hardwood bench. After assembling it, I was impressed by its outstanding construction and materials. It should last for many frames. I recommend watching the assembly video before putting it together.
