I used the Barnwood Frame as a base for this project. Instead of all 1x2's, I used 1x3's for the interior frame and 1x2's for the exterior and stained each with a different shade. This was my first real try at this project and allowed me to use my own frame, matte, picture from start to finish. It took me a bit longer than normal due to some silly mistakes and the decision to build a jig for the miters. Normally, this would cost ~$150 to have someone else do it, but this ended up being ~$30 (wood, double matte, print).
