The inspiration is from the Elven art in LOTR and Rings of Power

    The frame is amazing alone, yet your smile as you admire your work is definitely stealing the show here.

    The frame looks amazing. Why you decided to use it to hang a picture of a random man holding a phone is beyond me.

    How is this made?

    Drill, jigsaw, trim router, and then the tight corners by hand with a chisel and sandpaper?

      You nailed it! I started with a stencil I made from hardboard using a jigsaw. Then router And the tight corners with chisel

    Absolutely stunning work!

    My only nit-pick of this gorgeous creation is the grain orientation of the bottom stretcher being horizontal instead of vertical.

    Truly inspiring work! And despite your previous setbacks with this project that smile doesn’t look like it’s going to leave your face anytime soon lol I will have to give this technique a try sometime.

      Thank you!

      Ya I don’t love that either but I felt it was necessary for structure.

      I’m super proud of it!
