Chez made this painting a while back and has suggested many times how good it would look with an old fence paling style frame. With Valentine’s Day approaching seems no better time to make it happen.

Joining hardware
Screws
Hanging hardware
Lacquer
Tools
Dropsaw
Cordless screwdriver
Square
Clamps
Sharp knife/boxcutter
Saw horses
Flat surface (table or similar)

Steps
Step 1

That looks great and the corners are outstanding! 
Ive seen various versions around over the years but the finishing of yours is so nice. Love the angle brackets at the back to keep them in place! Mmmm Just had a second look at the back and the ply is under them, The angled brackets are to give it strength?
