Tools & Techniques > Woodworking > How to Make Picture Frames

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

Pass each 1/4-inch piece through the router using a small round-over bit. For each piece, you will actually make two passes with the strip standing on the same edge - once to route the back lip and then rotating it end-to-end (with the same edge against the router bit) to route the front lip. The result will be a double rounded edge or bull nose resembling the letter "U" when viewed from the end.
