Handmade Frames Inc

Every so often a small shop turns the niche into an art form—picture framing is one of those crafts.

Customers who need one custom frame or a run of dozens still expect accuracy in the details—something that calls for steady hands and sharp tools. The city has no shortage of quick fixes, yet the real work is often found off the main drag, in places where specialists keep the trade alive.
