It looks like Rose and Hollis A41 Oak, barewood with a Jacobean Oak spirit stain by Chestnut.

I found it an organic process.I scoured ebay and Facebook marketplace for most of my storage, had some help to build a glass storage unit similar to the Lions one and mountboard holder. Wheels for sure and the right height is essential, too low and you'll soon start to feel it. An 8x4 sheet is a goo...

The only one I know if is the Rose and Hollis barewood Obeche "Very Deep Box" moulding. Have a look on there website.
You won't need a stand for a 100mm deep frame, it will stand up on its own, I would have thought!

@girlfromkent if you go to www.larsonjuhl.co.uk they have just put up a series of webinars. Have a look at the one by Jon Price GCF about hinging artwork.

@girlfromkent if you already have the FATG study guide, then follow it. It's only the beginning.. No, never mount on the window mount, always on the undermount. Sandwich = make a book hinge, mount the work on the undermount, close it, position glass on top. Then tape all edges together. It's then re...

I book hinge an undermount as standard practice, always using the same quality as the mount. It's not considered good practice to mount work to the window. I use Nitto/Art white self adhesive tape for the book hinge, or white paper gummed tape, as required. For mounting artwork nearly always the sam...

I did buy some 015's at some point, but don't have a problem with 1500-2500 micron boards with them. Any thicker and I'd use the 015's.
Have you checked the depth of your cut into the slip? Could this happen from having the blade cutting too deep? Just a thought...

@grahamdown
its cheapest from amazon.com or abebooks.co.uk

Here's a pic

I'm sure that Dermot while be able to give a critique of the frame, technically. I think what you're doing looks great. My only thought would be to look at darker mount colours. I recently bought a framing book by Greg Perkins, amazon I think, all about the design aspect. It's worth having a look at...

Thanks all, very much appreciated. I knew I couldn't the only one to try this!

Hi Jo I only have a morso, no chop saw, so restricted by height. My first test was a disaster. I joined them separately and attempted to join each section afterwards. They didn't match up. -I'm assuming the two profiles have to be joined in the length and then cut? Using a chop/table saw? -The profi...

Anyone have experience cutting and joining A333 and A335 together?

Jon Price (GCF) did a hinging demo last year in Stratford. He showed a technique where you use lengths of your preferred tape folded in half at the top, bottom and sides which are secured at the corners, out of sight under the mount. Hard to explain, I'll post a pic if I can find it.

Polyvine do some good top coats, dead flat matt and satin and I think NYAF uses a wax version too

Very sad news.

Have you tried adjusting the bolts in the handle, in picture E left hand side? One of the bolts on mine shifted(as there is room for adustement) and caused a similar issue.

Hi Greg, First off, I set up accounts with Wessex, Lions, Larson Juhl and Rose and Hollis. Larson Juhl website, you can order all of their mountboard chevron sets and holders, free glass gloves and glass displays. Wessex I buy all my mountboard by the sheet (Larson Juhl mountboards), backboards, dis...

Lovely job Ricky!
