Deans’ English Walnuts

I would pass Dean’s place almost every day on my way to work. What struck me about this homestead was that during the late spring, summer and early fall the house didn’t exist. I had to wait until winter when the walnut trees lost their leaves to see Dean’s home. That’s when I realized that his home made a great backdrop for the walnut trees. But of course I’m sure he’d see it just the opposite and once again it depends on what side of the fence you’re on.

Hand Crafted Wood Frame by Artist

The frames are made of non-endangered hardwood; milled, assembled, finished & matted by the Artist in a small shop in Placerville, California.

Planed boards are milled, mitered, splined with biscuits & glued. The frame is sanded, stained with red mahogany & two coats of sanding sealer are applied. Once again, the frame is sanded, followed by lacquer color coats; black on the edges; dark walnut on the face of the frame. It is finished with two coats of clear lacquer. The frame is then hand-rubbed with extra fine steel wool to achieve a satin finish.

The prints are mounted behind clear glass framed by double acid-free mats. Acid free foam core & a dust cover complete the assembly. The back has a pocket applied to house the Certificate of Authenticity which comes with each print. A wire for hanging the frame is attached.

Each frame is unique & because these frames are hand crafted from natural wood & are not a man made laminated veneer finish, there will be slight imperfections adding character to the whole piece.

If imperfections will disturb you, perhaps you would prefer to purchase a print & have your local frame shop take it from there. In either case it is my sincerest hope that you will be satisfied.
