At our Portland frame studio, we believe in craftsmanship that stands the test of time. We only use 100% solid woods, none of that new-age, particleboard core, fake facade, fu-fu-faux stuff. Our locally-made hardwood art frames feature precision mitre joints, strengthened with wood splines for superior glue line support and durability.
