Frames - I'm liking this color

[new2woodwrk]

I stained a few of my test frames pre-miter jig, but I really like the color.

First I used Minwax Pre-stain then Minwax Red Mahogany 225

Thanks in advance for looking

Thoughts?

Very nice looking frames. Well made.
I also like the color.
Minwax has another shade of stain called Gunstock that I like very much.

God Bless! Spirithorse

Lew,

I forgot to mention - the mitered inside pieces are 3/4  'L' Molding.

I use them because when I add them to the frames, it leaves a 3/16 edge on the inside so I don't have to rabbet the outer pieces and if I need the full 1/4" they are easily ripped on the table saw
