Mounting pictures on wood.

Since i opted for an 18 x24 photo i had a 24 x24 birch plywood board cut down to 18 x24 at lowes. Smooth the photo from the center outward with your fingertips.

I chose birch because it is smooth and has fairly smooth cut edges as opposed to other kinds of plywood. First printed on archival quality paper our craftsmen then mount your photo to a 3 8 solid backing board that s detailed with beveled edges and finished in black. View sizes prices. Wood mounting gives your favorite photo a clean and contemporary lift.

Framing and mounting are the tools you need to make your best photos shine. The board cost 8. Press the photo against the wood face down for the transfer method. A great picture deserves to be prominently displayed.

The right mounting techniques protect your art from acidic conditions in the air and from the wall on which the picture is hanging. Apply two pieces of hinging tissue or acid free tape to the photograph and mat from the bottom as shown in photographs.
