Custom Picture Frames Online

All of the wood used to build these elegantly rustic wood frames is carefully searched for and harvested.

Each frame is crafted from stocks of wood that the crafter himself has deliberately set out to find. Each piece needs to stand out as being peculiar in shape and texture, as well as coloring and grain patterns.

When you order custom picture frames online from Craig's Unique Frames, you are going to receive quality wooden frames to which the utmost diligence and care have been given, throughout the entirety of the process.

Although perhaps Craig's favorite part of the process, finding the wood is often the most difficult and time-consuming part.

There is then as much care put into the crafting process. There is much deliberation in the details, without compromising the beauty of any of the natural irregularities of the wood.

There are few “products” used (wood glue and lacquer, for the most part), and the bulk of the work is performed by hand.

In short, Craig goes on a wood-harvesting odyssey, finds the wood, studies it briefly, and then, using a couple of saws and a chisel, removes everything that doesn't look like a beautifully amazing and unique picture frame!

Read the legendary tales (many of which are, shall we say… unfounded…?) of Craig's adventures hunting for wood and the stories behind some of his frames. If nothing else, they are certainly entertaining, but most definitely stories!

These unique, handcrafted wooden frames are just raw wood, lightly chiseled and sanded, with a light covering of lacquer, to seal them and bring out the color and contrast. Each comes with removable glass, backing and hanger.

Artist Choice Ultra Clear glass is included with these frames. It protects without sacrificing the clarity of your artwork or photograph. The true colors of your framed project will come through clearly, without the green tint of some ordinary glass. Great clarity, true color transmission.

If you are looking for unique portrait frames, you will truly be the only person who has your unique frame! Each one of the several wooden frames crafted each week is an original photo frame design.

Furthermore, it is a new frame every time you turn it a different way. Because of this, the included hanger is removable, so you can hang your frame however you like it best, and turn it, should you decide to put a different photo in it down the road—perhaps landscape vs. portrait.

“Flex-points” allow very easy removal of glass and backing.

YES, Craig will make and ship any custom wood frames up to 11×14 in size (or bigger, if no glass is required).
