Quilted Maple Picture Frame - Profile and Infusing Color

This is a quickie project for my best friend.  He brought me a huge 5'x3.5' painting to frame.  It has nice solid colors: blue and black.  This would be a great weekend project... if I didn't start on Sunday.  This video is part 1 of 3 showing the design for the profiled stock and how I'm coloring it.
Since making a frame isn't rocket science, I decided to talk more about infusing the curl with a different color than the surface and the use of plastic resin glues.

  1. Well, part deux is in the camera; my day job gets in the way of shop time. If anyone has a solution for that, lemme know! :)

    While the frame is done, I need a board for the back of the canvas; I think it looks better that way.
