Order options
Standard Sizes or Made for Your Piece
Kindly specify when ordering your custom frame if atypical inner dimensions are required, and the exact size (in inches). This will be the exact size of the glass, which will need to be cut, if not a standard frame size.
Other details that should be included when ordering are:
Is it a canvas floater frame?
Does it require glass?
Colouring or style preferences
Craig builds custom up to 11×14, or larger if no glass is required.
Pricing reflects time in the shop, glass size, and the wood itself—diamond willow and some driftwood take more care to find and work.
The maker
Craig Johnstone
Canadian photographer, songwriter and craftsman. Started with diamond willow wood in 2011; now works barn board, root wood, driftwood, fence posts and other found woods—each stock of wood is chosen for shape, grain pattern and coloring, then finished with care, retaining the wood's unique, natural irregularities.
