Frame Building

I was wondering how to frame portrait commissions, after I got a few orders from (mainly from friends and friends-of-friends) so I drew it out on my tablet and it turned into a little infographic:

I took some photos to illustrate the stages of the infographic. Turns out, it takes a while to cut, sand and stains wood before you glue and nail each piece together...

An example of one of the portraits I completed and framed was the Martin piece:
