St Regis Rockface #2

#2 from a series of rockfaces shot in Western Montana in 2007. I control and create every aspect of all my pieces from capture through development to printing, matting and framing. This particular piece is a 14 X 20 gallery wrap canvas printed with my Epson 3800 on Hahnemuehle Daguerre Matt Canvas mounted in a 16 X 22 "Float" frame. I created the design for the float frame in 2009 and built the jigs to produce them this year. built from solid Hickory stock I've built 6 of them so far and have been experimenting with several different stains, sealed with a wipe-on poly, and also several enamel paints, which I do in multiple coats, rubbing them out and finishing with a clear gloss. I'm thinking of marketing them to local framers as a high-end custom alternative.
