Framing my carving

I got a chance to frame my finished carving.  Here’s how I did it.

My carving was made in Alaskan Yellow Cedar.
I decided to mat the carving with AYC as well.
I plowed a groove in the matte material to hold the carving.
Cutting the miters.
Shooting board.
Then trimmed the miters with my shooting board. Pretty end grain!
In the clamps with the matte.
I love using hand tools to do this work.
Then I plowed a bead in the external frame with my new beading capability that my new Veritas plow plane.
Pretty bead.

Kitchen Crown and a Final View of the Kitchen

Remember this? Way back when we started the Kitchen??  Well, I finally finished up the crown molding and we’re finally done.

Plywood wall over old lathe.
What a mess!

Here’s a quick blow by blow on the jig and how I cut the larger angles.

My Kreg jig works really well to .. make a jig.
Squaring everything up.
Drawing in the angle.
And cutting the kerf.
Miter Box complete ..
and finally, cutting the molding.

And here are the final pics!
