It never ceases to amaze me at some of the stuff you're able to accomplish with those thrift frames. Nicely done!
I've got one I'm working on, hoping to finish it this weekend and throw it up here!

Here's the frame up for the Naif, reclaimed frame, chopped down and painted.

I have a question about cutting down reclaimed frames. If the piece I want to put into the frame is 18x24, do I make the cuts at that size from corner to corner, or do I do it a little smaller to include the rabbet in that size? Thanks.

Just cut the print.
pay via paypal, use credit card,file dispute at the 20 day mark if suspicious. don't deal with noobs. don't trade with noobs. request feedback ahead of time. there are lots of good people 'round here.

Meh... I cut prints all the time (well, when it's easier for me...) If I'm framing something, it's not leaving me until I die. I don't care if 1/8" of border is missing. I'm sure the resale value might be hurt, but screw those assholes trying to sell my prized my possesions when I'm dead.
xjmjx - That frame is awesome with that print after your work. I'd be proud of that! Your daughter has a good eye.
