Custom maple mouldings for Xu Bing

Here are some pics of the maple picture frame moulding we had custom milled for Xu Bing’s 135″ paper piece from the Artist’s Respond! show at MCASD.

There is no commercial picture frame moulding made at these lengths, which we had milled from 14 foot raw stock to ensure clean lengths at the final outside frame dimensions of 140″ x 50″.

We mixed the custom color to match the color of frames previously used on similar large scale pieces by the artist. We milled the stock to a solid 1.75″ x 2.75″ block to approximate the earlier frames as well.
