I complain about not having time to fly... and look what I get myself into. For Christmas, my brother-in-law wanted to get me a WWI print for my office/"cockpit". But as we were picking out one for me, he was completely smitten with the print pictured below. And so I went sneaking back to the site and ordered it for him. Then, I offerred to frame the two prints (So he didn't spend heaven knows how much on custom frames).
Tonight I finally finished his frame (yeah - since Christmas...). The frame is made from a Pennsylvania wild cherry tree in my yard that I had to fell. I harvested, dried, and milled it myself. The iron crosses are simply basswood from the hobby store. I chose the blocked corner design because 45° mitered corners are enough to make any preacher that I know begin to cuss, stomp, and throw things around.
The print really is charming. The Baron & his brother Lothar, and their dog, in a candid moment... you can almost hear the birds singing. It's so peaceful it belies the horrible conflict all around. So here's my little show-off pic. Enjoy!
