Re: New to Framing - advice please.

Thanks everyone, some good looking information there. I like the look of the Logan equipment, healthily expensive too :)

New to Framing - advice please.

hi all, love the net, love the fact there is a forum for everything. so my girlfriend is a painter, she paints on large canvass with oils, and we want to frame some of the frames to add to the quality of the work. So we found the wood, and had a go last week, which turned out to be pretty poor finis...

Re: Where to get materials

I'm just getting into framing, so really want to visit the shop/wholsaler for a look and feel of the frames. inet ordering is fine if you know exactly what you want. Lions looks good to me so far.

cheers

Re: Where to get materials

thanks, tried our local framer, and he didn't have what we needed, but is able to order it. seemed very expensive to be honest with you.

he wanted £12 per meter for some simple canvess frame wood, what do you think about that price?

Where to get materials
