I saw one last winter where someone took old picture frames bought at thrift stores or garage sales and used those for the tops. Cheap already has glass in them.
For the less crafty Hobby Lobby sells cases and virtually every month have them for 50% off and always have a coupon for 40% off in their ads.

the axe don't look terribly to old not alot of rust pitting which means more steel and less iron. the hammer is cool how about a few more shots of it . :yes:

 

[Lodge Scent]

I'll take six of the 18 X 18 frames and two of the 24 X 24 frames. I expect a volume discount. I will pay a premium however, if they come pre-filled with relics.

 

[coinnut]

Bored and somewhat crafty:huh:thinkingabout:? Why yes, I do feel that way Dave. :thinkingabout: But I think it's easier to just have you do them lol Nice job on them thumbsup01
