Before the weather cools down enough to use the fire pit I tend to sort through the scraps. Some leftover cherry and some really sappy walnut scraps got cobbled together to try and make some picture frame stock.

The nearly blond walnut gets a shot of cordovan dye which results in a sort of kona coffee color.

Sometimes material is where you find it :D. LOML has a couple of pics she wants to hang in the guest room.
I use "turns" to hold in the art. I have use a small Forstner to recess the screw heads. This is just one solution to hardware scraping the walls. Felt dots are another.

You can see the material is a combination of scraps.

They will wait around on the guest bed for LOML to hang when she gets a notion.

There are never any scraps. The smaller pieces just make smaller projects, I keep all those little pieces till I go mad and wonder what to make that can use them. I like to make crosses and give away to kids in church.
