    I made a lot a long time ago using little photo housings available in 36mm and 50mm here http://www.letsmaketime.com.au/shop/item/picture-frame.

    This is the one I made for my desk at work with my kids, now over 10 years old but I haven't updated the photos

    Thanks Neil but not quite what I am after lol I am looking to paste larger photo's onto timber that I have either turned or just cut and sanded I was then thinking of putting a 2 pack epoxy finish or something similar over the top. This is why I am wondering what sort of paper to use and weather it should be sealed ? or what else I might have to do to make the whole thing work ?

    So anymore idea's would be great


    Cheers Ian

    Ian, Google "decoupage photos" and I am sure you will find the information you are after.

    Glasscraft also has some info on their website.
