One of the more challenging projects we have had is making large wood picture frames for black and white photographs by Vancouver artist Jeff Wall. We recently made several of these in sizes up to 9 X 13 feet (396.24 X 274.32 cm).
These frames had to be very sturdy as the photos are mounted onto 1/2" (12mm) thick honeycomb aluminum panels with 5/8" (15mm) glass in front. They also needed to be almost perfectly square. When measured on the diagonal they were accurate to within 1mm.
In order to tie the whole thing together and provide addition strength a grid stretcher in installed in the back. The photo shows several of these stretchers hanging in the shop.
