Antique Chair Photo Frame - Project of the Month JUNE 2012

[mtylerfl]

Hello,

Here is a preview of the next Project of the Month (for JUNE 2012), the Antique Chair Photo Frame.

The Antique Chair Photo Frame offers a unique way to display a favorite photo. Reminiscent of the Queen Anne style of furniture, it has a charm all its own. The frame pocket on the backside is sized for a standard 4" x 6" photo and a glass and backing insert kit. The project uses just the 1/16" Carving Bit and the 1/8" Cutting Bit. No other bits are required.The finished dimensions of the Antique Chair Photo Frame are about 9" wide x 14" tall x ¾" thick.

Main items you will need:

1) The Project Files (included):
• Chair_Photo_Frame.mpc

2) Boards with the following dimensions:
Chair Photo Frame: 0.75" x 11" x 22"

(NOTE: Do not use boards that are smaller than specified above, or if you are using a sled, you can subtract 7" from the length of the board and have the sled provide the extra 7" required)


3) Sawtooth picture hanger, 4x6 glass and backing insert, inexpensive frame to scavenge turn button screws (scavenged from an inexpensive "dollar store" frame), sandpaper, wood stain and/or paint and clear finish

4) A Dremel-type rotary tool with assorted sanding wheels and bits to sand small details and speed up preparation for finishing.


Apply stain/paint and clearcoat of your choice.
Here’s what I used on my Antique Photo Frame made from Select Pine
