Note: Drawing not to piicture. Once all the dowels are started into their holes, I used long pipe clamps to help me push everything together really tight and to help make it nice and square. Freud's V-Grooving bits are designed to cut deep or shallow grooves. And in case the link rots, here is the cross section note, the dimension are in mm Reciprocating Blades.

Once the glue was dry, I gave the corners a good sanding to get rid of any leftover glue from squeeze out, then put a Roman Ogee router bit into my router and went along the outside edges Picture Frame Moulding Router Bits Device to give it a little decorative detail. This is totally optional. You can leave your edges plain and square OR Picture Frame Moulding Bits use something else besides the Roman Ogee. But side note: when routing edges like this along the outside, go counterclockwise. For more information on routers and how to use them, check out this router guide.

If you think of this print as a sandwich, it would go glass in front, mat board and print in the middle, and backer board on the back side. For this, I used a rabbeting bit in my router. NOTE: route the inside edges here clockwise. The thing about rabbeting bits is that they makes rounded corners. So I used a chisel and carefully squared my corners.

OR, in hindsight, you could route these rabbets prior to assembling to avoid having to use a chisel here. Now the frame itself is finished except for actual finishing—paint, stain, poly. I polyed mine with three coats of Polycrylic. While it was drying, I cut the mat board.

The last thing that needs to be done is cut the mat board. You can buy mats in standard sizes precut at any craft store or even online. I traced out and cut the board the overall size the mat board needed to be to fit inside the rabbet from step 6. Once the opening was cut, I taped the corners of the print onto the back of the mat so that everything was lined up and it would stay that way.

I ordered a piece of picture frame glass from my local glass place so that it would fit into the groove cut from step 6.

If it is too big, you will need to chisel out the frame until it fits. And that stinks, so avoid it if possible haha. So instead, Dad Router Bits For Picture Frame Moulding had two small eye screws and some metal frame hanging twine. We put one eye screw in each side of the frame and tied the twine between the two to hang. Applications: Door casings, trim, baseboards, picture frames and pilasters.
