Custom Frames For Terri Misley
07/20/2022
Terri is a highly accomplished mosaic artist with that burning passion to create. She approached me with the idea of converting several old oak planks and one walnut board into frames. They had been stored in her father’s barn for many, many years, despite that they were in pretty good condition. She even brought her own glass. What is wonderful is that she gave me artistic license on the 8 quarter-round glass panes.
I hope you liked these frames, I’ always willing to entertain any ideas you may have about frames.

Fused or ‘melted’ glass is the next big project to come out of the Marvelous Mosaic studios. It is up to me to create a means for not only displaying them but to also make it so the client that buys the piece has a way to display it at home. Below are a couple examples of some of our latest.
Undersea tranquility.
How to make a checkerboard stand; find any old butcher-block and simply cross cut, shift the pieces over by one width, glue, putty and sand. The backstops were run through my band-saw, but the rest was straight ahead. I cut the channel before gluing as I wanted a half-round shape to ensconce this particular piece, impossible to do otherwise.
The above frame was a very exciting project. I went to my source for all things walnut, a man with a lumber mill in the hills between Scappoose and Vernonia. I selected two similar slabs, planed them to the same thickness, ripped through the center for symmetry and biscuit-joined the corners. I then made an oak backing glued and screwed into a channel I routed for this extremely odd shaped and uneven artwork to set into.
This one took a lot of work. For the shop geek, here are the steps; I cross-cut an old cutting board, sanded flat, offset the strips over one, glued back together, planed and routed the edges 3/4” radius. I then channeled some oak to fit the glass, fixed together with small dcrews and glue then mounted atop the base. Simple ;-) The glass is some old tempered shelving unit. Rvrything is 100% recycled.
