A brand new customer of ours brought in a 48x96 piece of aboriginal art (this is shredded bark, that's been pounded, pressed and pieced together in sections) they wanted framed.
This project proved to be a bit of a challenge because we were to "float mount" the art onto the backer board. We came up with a very strong hinging technique that will not harm the art, but will also hold the piece in place for years and years to come.
We used a 4" wide Larson Juhl frame that has a beautiful finish that totally resembles raw bark.
It took us 3 full work days and 4 trips - in one day- to Menards (for extra bracing support bars,etc).
The entire framing ended up weighing 60 lbs.
