(2/2) Once our freight elevator reaches ground level, Griffin helps Gary and Chris move the frame outside (it’s too tall to fit through the inside doorways downstairs), through our truck bay, and into our Art Preservation studio. Now, the oversized frame is ready to be fit with its artwork. #barkframeworks #oversizeframes #metalframes #aluminumframes #madeinLIC #customframes #artcollectors #welding #woodshop #metalshop #craftsmanship #teamwork #esop (at Bark Frameworks) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxNua3vl3eV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3y7suchdpszl

(2/2) A serial of the glues up strips. The darker wood in the center is to keep the frame to size. We’ll be following this frame all week as it is built! #FramedByBark #customframes #woodworking #clamp #glueup #custom #artistsframes #oversizeframes #mapleframes #lic #madeinLIC #hollowframe #woodshop #shoptalk #woodworkingtools

Bark Frameworks designer Christine Heindl recently worked with fellow #LIC business Cartesian Graphics to create custom frames and easels for founder Julia Roshkow’s crystal collage artworks. Read our latest Recent Projects post to learn more about this collaboration, and how the designs for these handmade works came about. Link in bio.

Whether it’s a spray finish, a wax, a rub, a paint/casein finish, a stain, polish, or gilded finish, each of our frames is finished by an artisan in our LIC shop. Here, Yelena Budylina applies a dark stain to a maple frame. #barkframeworks #handfinished #sprayfinish #paintcasein #stainandwax #wipeandwax #custompaintcolors #customframes #madeinLIC #woodshop #artpreservation #gilding

(2/2) Details of the finished frame. The wash mimics the coloration and tonality of walnut; it’s warm and natural. The effect is a bit more modern than revealing the wood figure/grain with a stain would appear. #woodfinishes #stains #woodworking #customframes #walnut #maple #customeframersnyc #barkframeworks #craftsmanship #handfinishes #madeinLIC #collectorsframes #artcollectors

(2/2) Here, you can see the blue-ish color of the stain applied to the fluted frame. When the sanding is done, the stain will be completely sanded away and an entirely new layer of maple will be visible, ready for the frame’s finish to be applied.
