Every once in a while, a project comes along that stretches our skills, our creativity, and our sense of what’s possible in custom framing. This was one of those projects—and, to date, the largest frame we’ve ever built.

The artwork itself is an impressive original painting measuring 6 'x10' purchased by our client overseas and shipped to us here in Eagle, Idaho for framing. From the start, we knew this would be anything but ordinary.

The frame is truly something special. It was handmade in Peru by Andrés and his team at the , crafted exclusively for this project. The design is a custom leather-wrapped frame, finished in distressed black with contrasting leather stitching—rich in texture, bold in scale, and perfectly suited to the power of the artwork. Because of its size, the frame was built in six separate pieces and carefully shipped from Peru to our shop.

Then came the next challenge: transportation. Simply put, the finished frame would never make it through the client’s hallway. The solution? Build it inside the room where it would live.

On site, we constructed custom wood strainer bars and stretched the canvas using a pneumatic staple gun, ensuring even tension and long-term stability. Next came the frame itself. The long sides—each ultimately measuring 10 feet—were assembled from three separate sections using biscuit joints, allowing us to create strong, seamless extensions right in the room. To finish it beautifully, we added red leather stitching strips to cover the joints, turning a structural necessity into a striking design detail.

Every step required planning, precision, and problem-solving—and we loved every minute of it.

The result is an extraordinary framed original that now hangs in the client’s home gym, serving as daily motivation and a powerful visual statement. We’re incredibly proud of how our team met every challenge head-on and delivered a solution that honored both the artwork and the craftsmanship behind it.
