Both sides now: Profile details of a double-sided frame we designed for a gouache by Alexander Calder a few years ago. The frame was milled in hard maple, and hand finished in a custom paint casein. #TBT #Calder #millwork #woodworking #woodshop #BarkFrameworks #doublesidedframe #customframes #specialmilling #nycframer #handfinished #paintcasein #paintmatch #zen #framedesign #frameprofile #gouache #madeinNYC https://www.instagram.com/p/COQ203ol76u/?igshid=pkqka3utd6km

Focus on Finishing: Our designers can create finishes of any color, tone, surface, and sheen to best complement your artwork; our craftspeople then bring them to fruition. Custom casein and acrylic paint colors, casein washes, water-based stains, and pigmented wax are just some of the finishes we offer! Here, frames finished in a custom stain sit to dry, before a wall of custom finishes in the background.

(2/2) Some details of the casein finish on the Espenscheid frame. Victor rubbed the lighter top layer of casein so that the darker lines of the base layer showed through, echoing the ink lines of the illustration (in the netting shown in the second image, for example). #illustration #milling #barkframeworks #woodshop #FramedbyBark #framedesign #paintcasein #handfinishing #artistsframes #artisans #design #customframes #nycframing #customframingnyc https://www.instagram.com/p/Chk5XlwlGHr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

(1/2) Customization, illustrated: Our team of artisans can create finishes that work in dialogue with your art. Here, an ink and watercolor on paper by Gertrude Espenscheid we recently framed for a collector in Brooklyn. The client worked with designer Christine Heindl to select a frame design, matting, and glazing for the work. Together, the two chose a custom paint casein finish for the frame. Bark craftsman Victor Liz applied the finish by hand. The frame profile is a variation of our Morgan design (originally created for @themorganlibrary ); the matting is 100% cotton Rising Olde White; and the glazing is OP3. #customframing #BarkFrameworks #FramedbyBark #artistsframes #GertrudeEspenscheid #illustration #handfinishing #customcasein #artcollectors #paintcasein #galleryframes #fineartframing #craftsmanship #nycframers #customframing (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chk402ilI2X/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Profile in maple: our milling department can create intricate profiles in wood -- we even have special knives created if a design is popular. Here, a detail of a specially-milled frame we created for an interior design client. The frame is finished in a custom paint casein. #woodworking #specialmilling #BarkFrameworks #customframes #woodshop #interiordesign #milling #framedesign #frameprofile #paintcasein #customfinishes #madeinNYC #craftsmanship #abstractart #artcollectors https://www.instagram.com/p/CULd75rl_ZM/?utm_medium=tumblr

Best wishes for a bright New Year! Every so often we frame special objects that clients want to protect and display. One such example is shown here: a Portuguese ceramic tile floated in a specially-milled, hand painted maple frame. The finish is a custom paint casein. Framing the tile allows for it to be safely hung, while also providing an attractive environment to protect its delicate edges. #FramedbyBark #archivalframing #customframes #BarkFrameworks #woodwork #woodshop #tileart #specialmilling #portuguesetile #handfinishing #paintcasein #newyear2021 #madeinNYC #Barkframes #geometric #patterns https://www.instagram.com/p/CJo-bTLlTjM/?igshid=1jgnbeud1emow

We research frame history when creating new designs, and -- in documenting many of our corner samples -- we've created a robust catalogue perfect for the social distancing era. We have digital .pdf's of many of our designs, which can be e-mailed to clients both near and far! Here, our Pepin moulding, named after 18th century French framer Claude Pepin, from an original frame bearing his stamp. This sample is maple with a hand-applied paint casein finish. #BarkFrameworks #framedesign #woodworking #ClaudePepin #woodshop #customframes #nycframer #framehistory #framecatalogue #cornersamples #paintcasein #handfinished #craftsmanship #madeinNYC #smallbusiness #socialdistancing #museumframes #artcollectors #interiordesign #esop https://www.instagram.com/p/CFPpKm7Fmiv/?igshid=icaj3fie6rhj

(2/2) A detail image. The frame was hand-painted with two tones of custom paint casein that were also inspired by Marin's original frame. #customframes #customframing #BarkFrameworks #FramedbyBark #johnmarin #woodshop #milling #americanart #paintcasein #neutrals #handfinished #craftsmanship #frameprocesses #woodshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CEH3A8eF6WD/?igshid=kgaidqwr5u2s

#TBT: At a company where skilled craftsmanship is of immense value, the passing on of knowledge is priceless. Here, Ferid Agi, who refined his techniques at hand finishing over decades at Bark Frameworks, talks to Chris Mondello and Roman Dean about his craft.

Our journey with last week's glued-up frame is complete: here, the final frame with its painting, “London Oxbow” by Stephen Hannock.

Whether it’s a spray finish, a wax, a rub, a paint/casein finish, a stain, polish, or gilded finish, each of our frames is finished by an artisan in our LIC shop. Here, Yelena Budylina applies a dark stain to a maple frame. #barkframeworks #handfinished #sprayfinish #paintcasein #stainandwax #wipeandwax #custompaintcolors #customframes #madeinLIC #woodshop #artpreservation #gilding
