Absolutely beautiful cut of a newer pattern. I greatly appreciate your giving me credit for pattern design. Some great suggestions posted. Cant wait to see how you finish this. Humbly, Kenny Hopkins.
You dont need a jointer. Lowes and Home depot both sell oak, red oak, poplar, and a few other woods in 1/2"×2"× various lengths that are surfaced on all 4 sides. Using a router with a slot cutting bit and a miter box.. I use my table saw.. you can easily make a frame. As soon as I have some time. I'll put a video on my site of how I make my frames.
