23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Woodworking gone wild! Check out this incredible snapshot of a Powder Post Beetle showcasing its carpentry skills in Obeche wood. Heterobostrychus brunneus, the ultimate DIY enthusiast, takes pride in transforming ordinary timber into a work of art. With its precision drilling and intricate patterns, this tiny insect proves that size doesn't matter when it comes to craftsmanship. Straight from the heart of Africa, these beetles are the true MVPs (Most Valuable Pests) of the woodworking world. They may be considered pests due to their appetite for wooden structures, but let's give credit where credit is due – they're nature's very own architects! While we admire their handiwork from afar, let's not forget to protect our precious furniture and homes from these talented critters. Let them inspire us with their dedication and attention to detail while we ensure our beloved belongings remain intact. So next time you spot one of these African artisans hard at work, take a moment to appreciate their contribution to wildlife diversity and marvel at how even insects can leave an indelible mark on our lives. . . and maybe invest in some beetle-proofing measures too!
