Howdy Pardner!! Let's see some vintage rodeo posters!! All of these were preserver ultra mounted using Acid-Free materials and framed in a dark brown rustic frame using Conservation Reflection Control glass with 99% UV protection and a buffered finish to keep reflections to a minimum.

How about the same poster framed in two different frames? These were brought in a week a part from each other by two different clients who had gone to the same Pearl Jam concert here in Portland, Oregon on May 10, 2024. The first client used a wooden frame with a dark blue metallic finish, while the second client used a wooden frame with a green metallic finish. Both posters were preserve ultra mounted that is acid-free and completely reversible. Museum glass which is 99% UV protected with an invisible look to minimize reflections was used on both posters.

A treasured collectible "Critical Role" print with autographs is preserve ultra mounted. This is all acid-free materials and completely reversible, but it makes a rolled print on paper lay nice and flat inside a black frame with thin painted silver edging on the inside and outer edge of the frame all under museum glass with 99% UV protection and an invisible look for no reflections.

This is a print on canvas that we stretched on to stretcher bars and then put into a frame. It's very lightweight as glass is not needed.

 

One of the fun parts of custom picture framing that the clients rarely get to experience is the thrill of seeing each element of the design being added. Clients usually bring in their unframed pieces and then come back to pick up their completed frame jobs.

Picture one is the art after its been mounted in a vacuum heat press onto Acid Free Preserve Ultra mounting board which, by the way, is completely reversible.

Picture two has the acid free double mat added.

Picture three has the frame laying on it without the glass added.

Picture four is of the completed frame job after the glass, paper and wire has been added onto the back of the frame.

It's such a lovely view of Mt. St. Helens from Scappoose, Oregon.

A client brought in this print of an old Russian Orthodox Icon that he received from a family member. He was advised to go to a local custom picture framer and make sure that they put Museum Glass on it. So, after mounting it on Acid Free Preserve Ultra, to make sure it stays nice and flat (and it's reversible), we framed it in this gorgeous traditional brown, black, and gold wood frame that has an inside double lip also in gold. It turned out beautifully and the client was very happy when he came to pick it up!!!
