Thanks for the confirmation that the prices I am seeing are in line. My mat was cut from the cut-out from a previous customer so maybe I was given...
Me too. It is ironic that you can buy original art so cheaply and the framing costs an arm and a leg. I bought the above litho directly from the...
I too have a penchant for black frames, though not exclusively. Black spray paint is your friend. I generally prefer a matte finish. In the...
Found a limited selection of millwork at the lumberyard that will work. Can also add a strip of wood to the back of flat mouldings to accept a...
A few years ago, I broke down and bought a point driver. Best purchase I have made in a long time. Uses both ridgid and flexible points. I like...

It is oak and likely English in origin. Secondary wood is also oak (Maybe with a bit of ash thrown in). Believe it to be a 19th century revival...
Has a bit of age to it but don't think it is as old as it purports to be.
I am inclined to say these are relatively modern rustic design imports.
Great score! I am not a watch guy but would think the problems are an easy fix. Here are some ebay sales of 18K Waltham watches to encourage...
Haven't seen too much out there lately, other than single dining chairs and Victorian rockers. None were exceptional values or terribly...
Haven't paid anyone to work on furniture ever in my life so wouldn't know. Likely more than the chair is worth. This is a pretty easy project so...
I stand corrected. Thanks, AJ! Great superior knowledge of the nuances in Idonesian arts. I know just enough to get myself in trouble ;)
Frederick Cooper lamps are good quality. Not familiar with Tyndale but they also look resonably good. That said, I don't see anything...
I see now. Maybe something ending in ila?
