Tools & Techniques > Woodworking > How to Make Picture Frames

Learn how to make your own picture frame using solid poplar wood.

Add a vertical and horizontal block to the router to support the thin 1/4-inch poplar lengths. Position the vertical block to butt against the top of the strip and the horizontal block to butt against the side as the strip passes through the router standing on its narrow edge. The blocks will hold the strip securely and stop it from chattering while you route it. Additionally, it enables your fingers remain a safe distance from the bit.
