Another TV Frame

[rnt80]

I installed this a couple of weeks ago.  Trying to figure out the angles on the trim was a bit of a trick since the front portion of the column is at an angle and the top of the trim had to be parallel to the ground.  It all worked out though.

I remember you asking about the angles.

Thanks guys.  This was the fourth frame I've done for this customer and I think I've got two more to go still.  I honestly need to find a way to market these down here.  There are plenty of people in this area that could afford something like this, it's just a matter of me getting the word out.

So, how did you manage the cutting the molding to fit the angles front?

Whats the trick to getting the distressed look?

Don't be afraid to beat the heck out of it.  It's also important to think about what parts of the piece would be likely to receive wear.  I don't use the sander to soften anything.  I typically use a hand plane, chisels and a old set of keys.  this last project didn't require it, but I usually will use a glaze to accent the distressing.
