no biggie Owen, just trying to steer this back to an offer to perhaps help my fellow Makers with their Christmas / holiday gifts if framing might be part of them.
I hear you Tom.
I don’t have anything right now, but I will see you if I do! Thanks for the offer to all the members.

Marshall, here are a few quick phone pics of misc things that I’ve done - from basic to more involved(in no particular order)
Cubs patches and front page (I did 2 of these the day before Christmas)
Grateful dead concert posters and the couple’s tickets. The ticket artwork was done by children via a public contest.
This is an oil on canvas. Local doctor always chooses multiple layered frames for her artwork.
“photo” font - this was for a dog rescue group.Folks have the names of their grandchildren, etc cut in mats for photos.
Christening gown, with poem embroidered into the bottom of the shadowbox.

The font is more or less clip art on one of my CMC’s and not sure what it is on the other CMC
CMC = computerized mat cutter.
What do you have in mind?

I like thick fonts that I can use as clipping masks. This looks ideal for that usage.
Owen,
Here are a couple of pics of shadowboxes I did about a week ago. The 6" deep boxes are made from walnut plywood with walnut face frames splined to the carcasses (no these were not made at the DMS).
Framing material with a rabbet over 4" deep is not readily available.

Those are nice Tom. But yah they are really deep. With shoes in there, I’m thinking maybe 3” thick would be ok, maybe 2” would be miiimum.

measure the height of the shoes and add a little - you don’t want the shoes or any or the items to come in contact with the glass.

Angela and I will be there Wednesday.
sounds good,
please make it close to 6pm or later
the easiest landmark is the O’reilly auto parts store next the our building
Going west on FM407, you’ll pass the railroad tracks and it’s on your left. If you get to the light at Highland Village Road where the DQ and Chick-fil-A is then you’ve passed it.
