A client that I have done other work for asked me to make an A&C style frame for a tile he had purchased.

Sure, said I, no problem. He wants it unfinished so I thought it would be a perfect one day build.

I dug around and found a hunk of 8/4 QSWO left over from another project. I first cut it in half.

Then took it over to the band saw and sliced it.

After a few short trip through the planer I had 2 pair of book-matched sides.

I set up the table saw for the rabbets than will support the tile and hold the recessed back. First came the 1/8" deep cut 1/8" from the face. This will hold the tile in place.

Next came a series of cuts to provide a recess for the back and an area to accept the screws that hold the back in place.
