In this episode I show you how to make this padauk and maple picture frame.

The build starts by making the maple matte. Typically, picture frames have a cardboard matte, but I wanted to change it up and make one out of wood. I chose maple as it's a nice contrasting wood paired with the padauk.

I used Osmo Polyx as the finish, applying it with a 3m white buffing pad.
