I was gifted this rare print from a dear friend about 8 years ago.
I picked up this frame ( two of them actually ) about 10 years ago at an antique shop in Ohio . It is a walnut Victorian frame , ebonized trim sith a gold leaf liner frame. Circa 1860
The outer frame was in good shape but the inner frame was split, gold leaf damaged. It framed a nice sketch of flowers , most likely original , which I kept and it is behind the Woodstock print for safe keeping.
I restored the frame , covered the inner frame with two layers of gold leaf . It still has the original hand blown glass and wood back, covered with a craft brown paper back just like the original.
It has taken me about three years to complete , sounds like me. Enjoy.

PS If you look closely at the leaves, there is a piece of gold that got between the print snd the glass.
I will just leaf that there. 🍁

Opa has finally completed his Christmas.

He was unable to Mount these for you , as GOD called him home. GOD in his way, made sure they were complete and delivered to you. Your Great Granddaddy loves you very much and I know you miss him.
The St. Jude’s toys are the last of this year and from Opa. Put them with your collection.

Love Opa ❤️

I forgot to share these. They are page holders for books. Made them for Christmas, made one for myself even though I would rather get an ass whoopin than read a book.
Check out the detail on these. Each one was customers to the recipient. Read on Suckers. I will be on Audible. 😁

This Marlin has been in my to do pile for decades.
My oldest brother, Robbie , built this in 1968 in shop class. Over the years the original fins got destroyed.
I kept it ,carried it around for 4 decades waiting for the right time to repair it.
I was in Metal warehouse a few months ago and saw some polished diamond metal plate. Inspiration hit a few days later.
Went back. Got a scrap piece , cut it to pattern, refinished the walnut Marlin , replaced the tack that was his eye with a cool marble from my childhood . Gave the Swordfish new life.
Not bad for an eighth graders shop project from 1968.

Falling behind on life. Rosewood Chinese pedestal and Planter box. Circa 1950.
Planter box was originally painted black , someone stripped it since it was made.
I do not believe the pedestal table and planter go together, but they fit well together.
Special thanks to Brayden Flora for his efforts on this project. Job well done Young Man.
