Six New Black Wood Picture Frame Profiles
wood picture frames
We recently added six new wood picture frame profiles: 871, 872, 874, 875, 876, and 880. They all have a smooth matte black finish. For those who wanted a fairly thin wood frame profile and a deep rabbet check out wood frame 876. It is an inch wide and has a deep 7/8 inch rabbet. For those who wanted a wider wood frame we have added profile 875, which is a full 2 inches wide. For those wanting wider and deeper for large frames we have added picture frame profile 880, which is 1-5/8 inches wide and over 1-1/4 inches tall with a full 1 inch rabbet. All of these picture frame mouldings are made of real wood.
Lower Prices on 8x10 & 11x14 Acrylic
We have significantly lowered the prices on most 8x10 and 11x14 acrylic sheets for picture framing. The largest price decrease was on standard acrylic.

Greetings!

My wife and I recently spent a weekend in Taos, New Mexico skiing and hiking. Since it was my first time skiing, I choose to leave the camera in the car (which is not convenient after the shuttle and ski boots). It was a wise move. I am confident that the camera would not have survived my attempts to learn to ski. If you have any plans to go to Taos I highly recommend San Geronimo Lodge as a place to stay and El Paseo Llama Expeditions for your mountain hiking expeditions. Although not really a photo trip, I managed to get a few shots of the mountains (and Llamas) during the hike and around the Lodge. You can check them out at my Taos photo gallery
Christmas Orders
This time of year is typically the busiest for the framing and shipping industry. We will try our best to keep production queues down to a few days.. If you need frames before Christmas please order very soon. Please check your order immediately after it arrives so there is adequate time to correct any unexpected issues, such as shipping damage.

In the last few years people have become comfortable with online ordering during the holidays, resulting in double or triple volume increases for shipping companies like FedEx and UPS.  This means there is a greater possibility for delays,  and problems like a  driver can't find your house because they are a temporary hire and unfamiliar with the area. Express shipping (which goes by air) can also run into problems due to winter weather shutting down the airports.
 
Rush Fee Built into Website
Our website now has a "Rush Fee" button in the website shopping cart. This will allow you to instruct our system to automatically flag your order as a RUSH order which will move it to the head of the production queue for a fee of 10% of your order. We will do everything possible to ensure your order gets manufactured and/or shipped as soon as possible. Most rush orders will ship the next business day (not including holidays or weekends) if we have the material in stock. Small orders placed early enough in the morning may go out the same day Monday - Friday. Large orders may take longer than one business day. If more time is needed to process your order we will try to contact you.
Profiles 952, 961 and 964 Discontinued 
In an effort to increase the quality and consistency of our framing products we are discontinuing picture frame profiles 952, 961 and 964. We still have some in stock but in the next few days we will be removing it from the website. These profiles are being replaced by our new 800 series black wood frame profiles. The 800 series is similar in color, but has a matte finish, whereas the 900 series had a semi-gloss finish. We did our best to find new wood frame profiles that would match the old ones closely.  Substitutions are listed below. Feel free to request sample pieces.

Profile 952 - Replace with Frame Profile 872
(Face is 3/4 inches wide but the height is 1-1/8 instead of 1-1/4).
Profile 961 - Replace with Frame Profile 871
Profile 964 - Replace with Frame Profile 874
Thank you for your continued support in helping grow our business. It has been a great pleasure helping all of you with your framing needs. All of our employees always comment on how great our customers are and what a pleasure it is to work with them. Please keep telling your friends about us!
Cheers,
