Metal Print Framing
I am a photographer and do a lot of metal prints. I am trying different ways to frame and mount them and this is a method using some cherry wood with walnut splines.

Thanks for the video. I’m going to try this with a foam core mounted print.
Perfect timing for this video. Mother in law dropped off some picture this past weekend and asked me to frame it for her.
I loved this video and explanation! Why, though, don’t you just mount the black frame closer to the front rather than doing the backer boards? Is it for additional visual depth?
Everything you did was so professional and and well done! Respect, but then entered that doubled sided tape…. surely cannot be a long term fix for securing your metal print. There has to be another way???
The double stick tape holds that okay? I’m trying to do this with a larger print and trying to figure out how to drill into the inset metal frame that’s on the back…any tips?
Great video and tips on making a frame – thank you!
