Another thumbs up
for hand finishing and how it can just be simple.
Ash moulding and obeche slip both painted with F&B paints, sandpaper distressed and clear wax.

Very nice David, love the way the moulding suites this style of image, is the moulding a lighter blue on the outer edge, very nice touch if so

No, just the shiny wax catching the light but wish I'd thought of that....

Looks terific. Also, although it took a while to understand, but I love the funny elephant story on the back.

Only one nit-pick. The white bevel. Been nicer with a fillet hf to the same as the gold sight edge.
Or simply use a black core or a reverse bevel. A line around tends to accentuate the off centre position of the image.

I hate it when framers try too hard to make something that tries too hard to compete with the art it houses but I actually quite like this dude. You must've been made up when you handed this bad boy over to the customer.

it works very well David, well done.
If I was to nit pick, the main focus is sat a little low, the white bevel looks fine to me.

Made up indeed as was the customer! I'm very lucky as a lot of my customers give me carte blanche when designing their frames. The only thing this customer knew about the design was I might use a bit of blue!
