Early Hogarth style frames were cut from a fruitwood base. For this frame I'm going to use cherry wood, which is a fruit wood with a dense close grain and polishes well after finishing.
Here I've cut the basic profile and prepared the wood ready for compo ornaments.
The compo ornaments have been applied and the profile cut to it's final shape. The frame will then be assembled and prepared for gilding the ornaments and laquering the wood.
