Branding Iron

I wanted to make sure folks know my frames are made in Montana. Most of the wood I use comes out of Idaho I've been told. I also buy all my wood at the locally owned Kenyon Nobel Lumber in Belgrade Montana. When I first started I went to the big box stores but now I buy 99% of my product at local stores.

I finally did a frame for myself. A friend of mine, Dan Smith, gave me this beautiful print of one of his painting. I did a combination of blue and orange to compliment the colors in the print.

Glacier Mural - 138" x 50" Dark Walnut Box Frame

This was a special project I did for Old Main Gallery in Bozeman. This was an old mural that once hung in The Glacier Park Lodge in East Glacier Montana.
