Mounting pictures on wood.

Smooth the photo from the center outward with your fingertips. Press the photo against the wood face down for the transfer method. Wood mounting gives your favorite photo a clean and contemporary lift. Apply two pieces of hinging tissue or acid free tape to the photograph and mat from the bottom as shown in photographs.

I chose birch because it is smooth and has fairly smooth cut edges as opposed to other kinds of plywood. A great picture deserves to be prominently displayed. An easy mounting technique lay your image down on a table with the top of the image hanging off the edge of the table about 1 or 2 inches. Lay your mat on top of the image and center it.

Since i opted for an 18 x24 photo i had a 24 x24 birch plywood board cut down to 18 x24 at lowes. Once you decide how large you want your art piece to be purchase a piece of wood on which to mount the photo. Burnish the photo to remove any air bubbles and wrinkles. Framing and mounting are the tools you need to make your best photos shine.

The right mounting techniques protect your art from acidic conditions in the air and from the wall on which the picture is hanging. First printed on archival quality paper our craftsmen then mount your photo to a 3 8 solid backing board that s detailed with beveled edges and finished in black.
