Ephraim’s frames are made in very much the same way that woodworkers did in the early 20th century. Quarter-sawn white oak is carefully selected, paying special attention to the direction of the grain and the character of the wood. Then comes the intricate process of cutting, planing, and sanding. No metal hardware is used to secure the joints; pegs add extra stability and aesthetic appeal. The multi-step finishing process incorporates fuming, staining, shellacking, and waxing. Our logo is burned into the back, which also features a keyhole notch for hanging.
