Background blabble: So we've collected quite a few posters but never could afford to frame them. I started making a frame for a poster (under the one shown) and was going to do a tongue and groove and with the rough side. The other poster was dark and I'm a bit more drawn to seeing the clean wood grain (its heart pine I got out of the house from 1839). So because I messed up the cuts I cant do the clean side and got out one of our smaller posters (shown).
Question: any suggestion on how to make this? Should I leave it squared or route a profile on the inside or outsie edge...or both? leave the outside edge rough? I only have a few router bits (the onea that come with the smaller mlcs kit) and two whiteside edge beads. I'm planning to rip the width down to 2-2.25".its about 1 1/16" thick.
I'm not planning to stain it or anything but just finish with waterlox. Any other suggsstions?
I think I'm just going to mitre the corners this time. The poster is 16x25. I'm assuming just a glue up is stong enough to hold it all together or should I reinforce it in any way? I will have glass.
Thanks!
