Inventive Ideas for Framing
This old family photo needed a unique frame. Custom Frame Services decided to create a barn wood frame from scratch. Dave Crowell, our founder, carved out the wood and milled out the center of the wood for the photograph to fit perfectly inside!
Various non-traditional materials can be used to present artwork. We do our best to choose the material that best fits your art, as well as the best shape, color, and texture.
There are also many ways to re-use and recycle materials and older frames to make them fit your personal style. If you have any ideas but need some help, bring them into Custom Frame Services! We would love to help your creative process.

Framing with Fillets (not the meat)
A fillet is a small piece of moulding which fits inside a larger frame used for decorative purposes. It customizes the frame even more to the detail and tone of the artwork.

Framing Tips on Foxing
Foxing is a term describing the age-related spots and browning seen on vintage paper. while the exact cause of the fungal growth is uncertain, it is best to avoid humidity and acidic papers or mats on the piece. While looking through your old vintage artworks, if you find discoloration of any kind bring them into Custom Frame Services and we will do our best to repair what we can and preserve the piece carefully.
