Trip to the UP

A friend of mine planned a trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for us.  He mapped out and described all the places we were to go, see and eat.  He told me about one of the places he thought was the most beautiful on earth, so I took some shots, stitched them together, built a frame, had a craft shop cut the matting, and framed it.  The wood is quarter sawn white oak scraps left over from the wardrobe project.  He is remodeling a house of his, so today I gave it to him.

Here is that frame and picture.  The dark and light wood are both white oak.  The dark wood was dyed brown, with pigment and water.  The frame was glued together and shellac is the finish.  The interior pieces are all book end matched and the top, bottom and sides are all from the same piece of wood.
