Cut a piece of 1x10 into a 9 in. x 9 in. square. Make a slight arc or round-over at each corner to give the frame a softer look.

Use your tape measure and square to draw a 4 in. x 4 in. square centred on the board. If 4 n. x 4 in. is too small, adjust the square to be 3/4 in. smaller on each side than your picture.

Bore a hole at each corner of the square and use the jig saw to cut the hole out.

Use a piloted 3/8 in. rabbeting bit to make a rabbet in the back face of the frame, around the centre hole. If you don't have a router, just push thumb tacks into the back of the frame to hold the picture in place.

Bore a 3/8" diameter hole 1/2 in. deep in the back of the frame. The hole should be centred from left to right and 5/8 in. in from the edge.

Sand the frame, paying special attention to the rounded edges.

Cut a piece of 3/8 in. dowel rod 3 in. long. When you push the dowel into the hole, it serves as a stand for the frame.

Use paint, stain, or a faux technique to finish the frame.
