Gracie,
You are very kind. While we are not Villagers, I enjoy the forum as a way to "feel like a Floridian" even though I have to stay a snowy NY'er for at least another 490 more days.
We will be down there in a couple of weeks and get to stay at our home for 7 weeks....can't wait!

The nice thing Gracie is that it would not cost a lot to practice. You could even take inexpensive furring strips or 1x2 pine and make some practice frames. When you have a small table saw it is very fun to see the different designs you can make by just running the wood through the saw a few times, doing things like bevel cuts, kerf cuts, etc. You can stain the wood first, then do the cuts to get a nice custom two tone frame.

You can practice these frames, making them any size. then if they look nice, just throw in a cheap mirror and give them away as gifts.

Enjoy! Frank
