This custom three-piece frame set demonstrates how the right presentation can completely transform a piece of art. Handcrafted to accommodate a client-provided set of vibrant, African-inspired panoramic prints, this triptych was built to deliver a clean, high-end gallery look tailored to a specific living space.

Each frame is precision-built from solid Red Oak, stained a deep, rich black, and finished with two coats of premium Osmo Polyx-Oil Satin. This specialized finish highlights the bold, tactile grain characteristics unique to Red Oak while providing a durable, smooth, low-sheen satin luster.

The Structural Details

Because the customer provided loose canvas prints, a standard retail frame wouldn’t cut it. This project required a dual-layer artisan build:

  • Custom Stretcher Cores: Internal support frames were custom-milled to the exact 7" x 20" dimensions to tension and square the loose canvas.

  • Flush Outer Inset: The stretched artwork was then perfectly fitted into the black oak outer frames, creating a flat, secure, and flush profile that prevents sagging or warping over time.

Project Highlights

  • Materials: Premium Solid Red Oak, Black Grain-Enhancing Stain, Osmo Polyx-Oil Satin.

  • Dimensions: 7" x 20" per frame (3-piece triptych array).

  • Joinery: Mitered outer shell with hidden mechanical alignments for structural longevity.

  • Presentation: Sleek, low-profile face width that anchors the artwork on the wall without overpowering the vibrant silver and deep red tones of the prints.
