Framing photography is one of our specialties -- many of our clients choose metal frames, which compliment black and white photos nicely. Our Long Island City facility has a full metal shop where we can create frames from aluminum, brass, copper, and zinc, all with a variety of finishes. Shown here: aluminum corner samples in our shop. #BarkFrameworks #woodshop #metalframes #customframingnyc #museumqualityframing #photographyframing #nycframer #customframes #blackandwhitephotos #aluminumframes #zinc #copper (at Bark Frameworks) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChawVxJlE6f/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

(1/2) Welder Griffin Garment sands an oversized aluminum frame in our shop. Some metal frames have a random-pattern finish, which can be made using an orbital sander — but our client wanted a hand-brushed finish, which is more linear and streaky, like the trails of a paint brush (see second photo detail). #metalframes #customframes #barkframeworks #woodshop #customframingNYC #aluminumframe #welder #esop #preservationframing #madeinNYC (at Bark Frameworks) https://www.instagram.com/p/BouoJOTFHB3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1udqpt4fyivzg

We want to make working with us as easy as possible for our clients. Can’t make it out to Long Island City? We’ll bring our showroom to you! Our design department has been working to create binders with photos and information about many of our most popular profiles, as well as pages illustrating frames of different materials and finishes. Here, an example of some of the aluminum frames that can be made in our shop. These binders will travel with our designers to on-site visits with clients.

Every Bark frame is custom made unique to the artwork it protects. Here, a frame we recently made for a private client. The 12-ply window mat (we can make up to 20-ply mats) sets the art back dramatically. The curved shape of the frame profile echoes lines present in the artwork, a drawing by John Lee Jones. The figure of the wood is emphasized by the custom finish -- a hand applied stain and wax. Together, the mat, frame, and finish compliment this work on paper without distracting from it. #customframes #barkframeworks #specialmilling #matmaking #worksonpaper woodfigure #FramedbyBark #customframingnyc #johnleejones #artcollectors #artistsframes #stainandwax
