Double beveled oak antique picture frames
Hi There,
Has anyone got experience with the mitre angle calculations/formula of Double beveled oak antique picture frames?
I would like to replicate and/or reduce existing ones in size and need a consistent result.
Any tips or advice appreciated.
Cheers,
Lars

Double beveled oak antique picture frames?
You will get an answer if we knew what you were talking about .
Do you have a picture or a much better description ?
I'm thinking you might mean the wood has two bevels and the frame is a rectangle or square. Is it as simple as that ?
Or is the frame more of an Octagonal shape and that's whats called the bevels? Which doesn't make sense because there are more than two .

If it is the type of frame I am thinking of you will need to put a packer at the rear of the frame when cutting so as to keep the angle correct when joining the corners.

Thanks for the replies so far.
To add some more detail:
Four sided frame with 90 degree, ie 2x 45 degree mitres; these 45 degree mitres have another bevel added in. This causes the four frame pieces to rise up when joined rather then lying flat.
I am not too well versed on all woodworking terminology, so this could well be called a compound mitre. The cut easy to make on a compound saw, however not too easy to get it spot on every time. It often requites a few trial pieces. This is fine if I am making a new frame but not so good when I'm trying to reduce an existing antique frame with little or now room for error.

How I would be doing it is forget about having to convert it to numbers of degrees and angles before you build and get a mould and prop it up to what you think looks right and measure the angle then.
Another thing I always like to remember is, not so long ago cornice and picture frame mouldings were never just cut with a saw and stuck together. The sawing wasn't that accurate back then they had to be planed on a shooting board . Donkey ear shooting board https://www.google.com.au/search?cli....0.rXRgTUHa2dI
You will see a type that probably will do what you want or give you the right direction to proceed . Shooting boards offer very accurate fitting and adjustment to compensate while fitting if things need that. You could build one that does left and right 90 degree angles and with a raised slope of the required angle. Or build the same thing to suit the drop saw if its to be done straight off the saw cut .

Thanks Guys,
All up I think I have the answers. Just got to wait now for the next project to trial this on. In the meantime I will look into making a shooting board.
