Wood Picture Frames
Wood picture frames have been with us since someone first came up with the idea of enhancing art work with a frame around it. Originally wood was the only material that was available that could be worked and molded to a form that was appealing to the eye. As time went on people discovered they could take sawdust and mix it with glue and make some pretty fancy molded designs to attach to the picture frame molding.
Wood Is Easy To Work With
Wood is easy to work with and with the right equipment ready made picture frame molding can be cut to the proper length and at the correct angle to make perfectly joined corners for a completed wood picture frame.

Wood Picture Frames At Thrift Shops
You can find lots of wood picture frames at thrift shops of all sizes that can be changed to fit your needs if you have the equipment to work with them. I've seen used picture frames in thrift shops for under $5.00 that would have cost between $150.00 and $200.00 new at a custom frame shop and the molding alone could have cost close to $100.00. Don't let that molding price scare you away from doing your own custom wood picture framing. Molding can cost anywhere from a few cents, if you make it yourself, on up, but still some very reasonable prices.
Ready Made Wood Picture Frames
Ready made wood picture frames  , although more expensive than custom wood picture frames that you make yourself, can really be a bargain when compared to what you would pay at a custom picture framing shop.
There are wood picture frames from rustic barnwood to some pretty fancy gold leafed frames at prices more reasonable than you would imagine if you've looked at some of the frames available at custom shops.
Miter Vise To Connect Corners of Wood Picture Frames
A miter vise is one of the handiest tools you can have to connect the corners of wood picture frames.
The miter vise is sturdy heavy cast metal that will never twist or skew in any manner that can cause your frames to be uneven.
