What type of wood are the frames made out of?
Our frames are made from Ramon (hardwood) wood – a fast growing tropical species. This wood is often used in the picture framing industry because of its strait grain, lack of knots or other imperfections, typically has impressive graining, mills very well and takes stain nicely. The natural color of the wood has a mild blond appearance. Once the stain, (i.e. our Cherry or Amber colored stain) is added with the oil-based lacquer, the elegance of the wood really shines through. All wood used in production of our frames are farm grown – not from the rain forest. We pride ourselves in helping preserve our rain forests.
