Mike, the Ford/Spielberg combo is awesome! I don't have any of my matted pieces framed but these make me want to.

Thanks, Joe W.  I just had that one framed, and it is the very thing that inspired me to create this discussion.  I absolutely love it.  I am glad that you like it as well.

Love it!  Never know what you will find at a thrift store but you definitely found the frame and background that was meant for this SIG and magazine.

Looks great - glad it is slabbed as wood frames outgass some bad fumes. Nicely done! For those looking to render wood frames less acidic coat the interior with acrylic "gesso" which is acrylic emulsion with calcium carbonate. This, with an acid free mat, will make a big difference. However, these slabs are not as airtight as one might think. I prefer anodized aluminum frames as they are totally inert and are available in sections online by the inch in a huge selection of colors and finishes, eliminating the need for $$$ custom framing.
