Mortise And Tenon Frames
The mortise and tenon is used to create Mission, Craftsman, and Prairie style frames. Although there are many types of mortise and tenon joints the two most commonly used to construct frames is the hidden tenon and the through tenon. To secure each frames corner either a round peg or square peg is used. To give a frame some flair and/or uniqueness there are a few options offered on how you can have the pegs appear on your frame. Options such as, pillowed pegs, dual pegs, diagonal, select a different type of wood such as ebony for the pegs. Depending on what you're framing each frame can be built specifically to match your needs such as the orientation of the frame. Pictured is just a couple samples of many types and shapes of mortise and tenon frames. Please visit my site to see more offerings.

Custom picture, art, poster, and tile frames using joinery methods from the Arts and Crafts era.
All frames are handcrafted from scratch using mostly quarter sawn oak. Other woods are available such as Cherry, Black Walnut, Mahogany, Maple, Beech, and even some exotic woods. I Can make a frame just about any size you might need. Contact me with any questions.
I have now been making picture frames that give tribute to the Arts and Crafts Movement for ten years. My overall experience with woodworking is 40 plus years.

Mar 9, 2017This frame is really gorgeous! It worth every penny and for sure, will add value to any picture/painting you use with it. Ordering a second one! Thanks!

Oct 20, 2015I just received the final frame from Jim. It is quite beautiful and well made. The tiles fit perfectly into the frame and the design of the back, will make it easy to install them (or remove them if need be) later. This will make a fine addition to the room where it is destined to hang. Good going Jim! thanks, Jeff
