Adirondack frames are available either 3/4" thick
(1/2" deep rabbet) or 1" thick (3/4" deep rabbet),
except the 5/8" frame, which is 5/8" thick (3/8" deep
rabbet). Each Adirondack is made from scratch, so standard dimensions
are offered as suggestions only.
ADVICE FROM 1906
“(In framing) old rare prints… the frames should be made of
the simplest wood bands, but as exquisitely finished as possible; the corners
lap joined add much to the beauty of such frames.”
