Quality and Return Policies

Quality:

Stains and Finishes:  I use only Minwax products for my staining and finishing of hardwood frames.  I have found them to be of the highest consistent quality.   I strive to achieve a consistent color and shade throughout the frame.  Due to the various woods, stains do not always absorb equally throughout any given piece of wood. If you desire a color or shade that is lighter or darker then what is shown on the web site please let me know, and I will try to accommodate your needs by using more or less stain as required.  If there is a question in your mind as to the actual color or shade of a stain, most home centers have a color chart available of the stains put out by Minwax (this is another reason I use Minwax).

Mat boards:

I use mat boards made by Crescent, a known leader throughout the industry in the maker of mat boards for art and photography work.  The average standard thickness of mat board is approximately 1/16" thick.  Some arts and craft centers and framing shops will have samples.

Hardwood and Finished Mouldings:

Occasionally there will be a piece of molding that is damaged.  I do my utmost to find these defects and not use that section of moulding.

Returns:

Custom made merchandise that is found to be defective or incorrectly made or assembled, can be returned.  I am willing to replace anything  which is wrong that is within my control.  Such as a dimension I measured wrong or a color that I did wrong.  Below you find some examples of how this applies

Defective or incorrect merchandise:

You order a frame 11" X 13" and I make a frame that measures 11" X 14" or 11" X 12".  

You order a frame made out of #2261 hardwood moulding and I made  #2266 hardwood moulding.

You order a frame stained with Charcoal Gray and I stained with English Oak.

You ordered a photograph of a Parrot and I sent an Osprey.

You want a mat that is blue and I sent a red one.

All of the above are within my control and therefore I will correct the problem.  

Items beyond my control cannot
be returned or exchanged:

A mat color that is a shade different that what you perceived or thought.  An example or this is Very white, Arctic white, and  Snow white, all have a little different shade to them.  If there is any question about a color, email me for free a free sample.  I do my best to portray them as close as possible, but I cannot insure that your computer monitor settings and mine are the same, nor under the same lighting conditions. It is difficult to show slight variations of color.

A stain that is darker or lighter than you thought it would be.
