[QUOTE="Potteryplease, post: 9546289, member: 16407"]Thanks for this thread! I've been looking into this lately too, and it's too expensive! I have a mitre saw, and can cut wood etc at 45' angles easily. When I googled frame materials by the linear foot, they too were crazy expensive! Is there a work-around for that? (I'm talking about oil paintings, so no glass needed.) Has anyone purchased vintage frames on the secondary market that are substantially bigger than the painting to be framed and then custom-cut them down and reattached the pieces?[/QUOTE]
