Picture Frames - all Wood, Custom Designed

Wood Flower holders, Furniture, Lamps

Here are some of the picture frames I've made. It"s only a sample because some have already been sold or given to other people and some are my personal items. Prices for frames start at $25.00 and go up based on frame size.

Picture frames

This is the family portrait wall in our living room.
Here's a frame that was done for a painting my great nephew Christopher painted.
This frame was done for my great niece Krystal's painting.
I've framed pictures from cards and done frames for plates (lower left frame).
These are two photos that I combined to give a panorama view of my grandson, Dalton riding in a speed boat while we were on vacation in Idaho.
cat furniture

This is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid's hideout when it was new. I've restrung the scratching posts a few times because they really use them.
Below is a pic of the same after it was "lived in" for a while.
wooden flower holders

This is a piece for artificial flowers. Inside is a wood shelf with a grid of nine holes to stabilize the floral stems so you don't need foam blocks to keep them upright. Price $55.00
Below is a single stem mini vase. $20.00
Mirrored chest/chair

This is a piece I did for Krystal. She likes dolphins (notice the 2 at the top of the mirror). It's a multipurpose piece: mirror, seat (the top of the seat lifts up for storage), and stuff can be hung on the wooden hooks on the sides of the mirror.
desk lamp

Did this for my wife's desk at work.
One similar to this runs around $70.00 (shade not included),
