Technical Issues


While stitching I had to resolve technical issues involved in hanging the 4 tree cloths.
Husband Ron understands material and joint stresses.

He sampled various corner joints for the frame. I made the aesthetic decisions.
Using Douglas-fir wood supports the work's concepts.

We settled on this type of joint. 

Carpenter Chris Mead made the frame. 

Airline baggage limits dictate each side has to be cut in half.
Chris developed a strong, non-flexing joint.
