The Framers Forum

This is a demo piece that I have in the shop. It's my version of one of Pete Bingham's party pieces. The 'mount' (it goes over the glass) is three layers of 'Grey Board'. It does have it's uses! It occured to me that it could be used for leathery inlays on mouldings. I wish I could still get the 'pa...

Spit. I should chisel in the words...

"Spit wuz 'ere. Look upon my works......etc".

That's amazing Spit. :D :shock: I'm Phenomenally Gobsmacked. It's more of a 'manky plaster' than a chiselled stone. I can see that workiing well on Mediterrean-types scenes.
