The 10 sycamore inner frames and 10 cherry outer frames, all glued up. They look small, but the inner frame is for an 11x14 picture.
One frame each, upside down. This picture shows how the inner frame is just a little larger than the space it will fit into. It will be trimmed for an exact fit.
One frame each, right side up and mocked up. The upper right corner shows that the inner frame is still a little too big.
