When we display artwork in our homes we are letting people see into a piece of ourselves. We are showing what we find beautiful or moving. We are saying something about ourselves. The same goes for those cherished photographs of vacations, graduations, weddings, family, etc. We show our history when we put those photographs on the walls or on the mantles, which says something about us and where we came from. No ordinary frame that anyone and their mother can purchase should do for our own personal pieces of artwork or photographs.

You could go to a chain craft store and over pay for a machine made frame that lacks quality and being original. Or maybe you do go to a frame shop to get something unique but are completely shocked when you are given the quote and therefore head back over to the chain craft store where you will still over pay. OR, you get in touch with Lawson Woodworks.

All custom frames created by LW are done with the client and the artwork constantly in mind. The frame is meant to display the artwork or photograph, to bring the viewer over to get a closer look, but also to show that the piece inside the frame is special and important. When I am working with a client building and designing a custom frame I stay in touch with that client through email, texting, social media, etc to let him or her know where the process is and to get the client’s feedback to make sure we are both on the same page and moving in the right direction. The client doesn’t just mail me or drop off their artwork and then get it returned in a new frame (seeing it for the first time).

All custom frames are handmade with quality pine wood and then hand-painted and designed to complement the encased artwork or photograph. The completed frames are not only custom but they are personal; they are made for the client and their artwork making each frame one of a kind and unique to that client and their art.

I know that when people see the word custom applied to something handmade they usually think expensive. I get that. And I have seen some crazy quotes from frame shops that do over charge for their services. However, people are usually surprised by the quotes I give them for custom, personal frames. They usually refer to the quotes that they received from frame shops asking how is it possible?? The truth is that purchasing a custom frame is not as expensive as you might think if you go to the right person (hint-hint).

Contact me today to get a quote for a frame for your favorite piece of artwork or that cherished photograph. Check out some of my custom work for clients all over or visit the shop for frames (and other one of a kind goods) all ready for purchase.
