I commonly create these red cedar driftwood (a juniper species) 1/2 log frames to custom sizes for customers. Red cedar undergoes a transformation when becoming driftwood as the river quickly erodes away the lighter color sapwood to reveal the beautiful and bizarre red-brown character of heartwood. It's usually pretty straight as well, so makes for good frame wood.

As you can see in the example photos, no two pieces are ever quite the same . . . some can be very knobby and some more smooth with fewer knots. Color can vary a bit too from reddish orange to more dark purplish brown, and some can even have a bit of sapwood left over giving some blondish colors. Your frame is assured to be unique as nature intended!

Frame sizes range from 8"x8" to some I've made as big as 24" x 36". Typical depth is 3/8", but can alter the design slightly to accommodate deeper canvas paintings. The wood is sanded to a degree to be smooth, but not destroy the character and finished with my signature oil/varnish blend for natural look. Frames include HD hanging wire and push points. Framing-grade acrylic glass and backer are also options if needed or desired.

I can also create custom frames from different types of driftwood, as well as normal wood logs, driftboards, and unique hollow log slices with decent size naturally hollow openings (usually oval and circular shaped). Please inquire!
