In several sizes & hard to find extra large 36" square
firstly, for those of you who are not familiar with where I live, well...I live in southern Colorado....and for shopping for just about anything, I may as well live on the moon. My nearest store that sells wood stock if you can believe is a 98 mile trek north up I25 to Pueblo....and thats one way! I went wood shopping on the way home from taking daughter to the airport in Denver this week and was able to pick up a nice selection of Poplar and some Red Oak for slate frames. Couldn't find any maple~ booooooooo!
I am planing on making slate frames 'inbetween' other projects...dolls, my flat top casket, padded mirror cases, and some kit work I am working on....so you can watch the Diamond K Folk Art blog for what I have ready made, or you can order a slate frame and Ill work on it priority like I always do with orders~ cause hey, I don't like waiting for things, and don't like my customers to wait either! If you are interested in having a slate frame made~ I am offering in 3 sizes~ small, medium and large. The medium frame is dimensions of mine I just made with 24" stock and will fit a Thistle Threads Door'd Mirror frame. The small is from 16" stock, and large 36"~ which yes, will fit the Thistle Threads Fancy Mirror Frame.
Working area within each frame are approximate, depending on how you lace your frame, and are as follows~
Small~ 16" horizontal & vertical bars(4), with working area apx 11 x 12"
Medium~ 24" horizontal & vertical bars(4), with working area apx 19 " x 20"
Large~ 36" horizontal & vertical bars(4), with working area apx 31" x 32"
Since the Red Oak is quite a bit more expensive than the Poplar, there is a price difference~ I hope you will find the below chart easy to follow~ but if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. The prices are for plain, unstained, clear varnish finish, and do not include shipping. I would of coarse be more than happy to discuss a custom painted frame if that is your pleasure~ cost is dependent on the design and intricacy of the work.
Slate Frame Small~
Poplar~ $100.00
Slate Frame Medium~
Poplar~$135.00
Red Oak~$155.00
Slate Frame Large~
Poplar~$175.00
Red Oak~$195.00
******PAINT is ADDITIONAL***********
I am happy to work out a custom one of a kind design for you~ just ask!
Allover Rose (like mine)~ 100.00 per MEDIUM frame
Old English Monogram (like mine)~ 50.00 per frame
Script Monogram~ 25.00 per frame
