    use american frame and just go locally to buy glass. they really are the best priced.

    Hope you don't mind my asking, but I've always wondered how does that work? Do they send the frame in pieces and you have to put it together? (which I have no problem with btw).

    And what about buying matting through them? Is it pre cut? How do they ship it, in a flat box?

    Thanks,

    you should read this: http://www.expressobeans.com/wiki/index.php/DIY_Framing
    and this:
    http://americanframe.com/assembly/index.html
    http://americanframe.com/measure/index.html

    american frame takes you step-by-step for ordering and helps you figure out how to measure correctly. the only problem is that the colors don't always match on a computer screen.
    just start with picking a frame. you can import a picture from eb to get an idea of what it will look like.

    they ship everything in a flat box. i've bought framing supplies for a dozen prints through them with no problem...and have also used framesbymail.

    good luck!
    From Tim Bierman's interview for 10c job: "what about computers, how are you with computers?" And I was like, "well, you know what, I don't have a computer. I've never had one and I really suck at it." And they were like, "ok, well, you can get a book."

    I hope Mr. Wrangle answered your questions, I haven't ordered from them yet. i will be soon though. i know from looking around at other sites that they were the cheapest and perhaps easiest to use with the directions they give. as far as i can tell they cut the matting. if not, well godspeed to myself.

    I have a 98 New Zealand too, it is about 10th on the list to be framed though. I was thinking a green bamboo type frame with a orange under mat and black top mat.

    wow that wasn't even the one i saw. that looks great (although i must admit i'm not a fan of the pink one, i really don't like that color for some reason). that looks like master's work.............

    Just got my framed Gorge Klausen back from MasterFramer and it is STUNNING. It's identical to the pics that he's posted in this thread for the Gorge:

    You have to really see it in person to fully appreciate the raised matting technique that he uses.

    Amazing job!!!

    Given that he is in Portland and I am in Toronto I thought this would be the only one I'd have him do for me but this is well worth the worry of the poster getting damaged in transit (before or after) and putting up with the shipping time. It was well worth the wait and the worries.

    :)
    Yep, he does an awesome job. I love the ones he's done for me and wish I'd found him sooner - lol. :)

    Edit: Note for anyone in Canada who is considering using him but is hesitant: the shipment arrived via FedEx and I was not charged a cent of customs/duty on it, which I wish I could say for shipments all of the posters I receive from the US ...

    Very nice!!

    Hey BeerBaron,

    Nice Job on the Gorge 06 and happy to see you got your Toronto 1998. (is it s/n).

    Wish I could get something framed (Hawaii 07, Borgotta) by Master Framer.....I emailed him, sent him PM's......he never answered!
