Clean the Barnwood and Cut to Size
We’ll start this project by making sure the barnwood is completely free of any nails, screws, dirt, and debris. You can either use some sandpaper to clean it off, a hand-held brush, or scraper. Be sure not to sand too much (just get any surface dirt, etc off). We want to leave the wood distressed and aged, it adds to the look. Then with your table saw or circular saw, measure and mark out your cuts. Refer to the downloadable plans for a complete cut list.
Cut the Lengths and Angles on the Miter Saw
Once we have all of the boards ripped down to the right thickness and width, we’ll head over to the miter saw to make the length and angle cuts. You may want to make the cuts generous (not exact dimensions at first) to ensure you’ve left enough for the 45 degree mitered corners. Measure twice and cut once! All of the corners are mitered together, so cut them all to 45 degree angles that will come together to form 90 degree corners. For the lengths, refer to the downloadable plans here or measure your custom canvas print’s length.
Assemble the Main Frame
Start with one corner, true it up, glue it up, and screw it together. You want to make sure to add wood glue to these miter joints, pre drill any spots where screws are going to go, and use clamps if need be. After you’ve built one miter corner, bring it to the canvas frame and attach it using screws (pre-drill these holes too). Directly drill from the canvas interior frame into your barnwood frame. Repeat these steps for each of the four mitered corners.
Attach the Outer Frame
Now we add the outer section of the frame that adds depth and dimension to the overall look. If, when ripping your barnwood boards, you exposed sections of wood that don’t match the barnwood look, then either wood burn them, use a steel wool and vinegar solution, or other aging method now. Apply wood glue to the lengths of every section that will be taking these outer frame pieces. Align it all and use your nailgun or hammer and nails to attach to the main frame.
Install and Enjoy
Almost done, we just need to install it! You’ll want to screw this canvas photo with barnwood frame directly into studs (the size and weight of ours needed direct stud install). Screw it into place and step back and admire! This is a great project that doesn’t take long and is fun to collaborate on. Post your barnwood frame pieces below!

Cool project!
+Scrap wood City Thanks! :)
Looks good! Projects always enjoyable to do when working with friends.
+nathan p Thanks Nathan! By the looks of your profile photo it looks like you are going to have a full deep freeze for the winter! Did you get it with a bow? Cheers!
Pretty nice!!! Thank you!!
you betcha!
Looks really good, nice craftsmanship.
Thanks Steven. Hope all is well!
that's a nice canvas and frame!
Thank you!
Thank you Pete. I was in the right place at the right time for that shot. Was just trying to shoot the clouds rolling over and come up on the barn so I was like I need to get that barn in the shot.
+Brandon Ostermiller Love it!
+Brandon Ostermiller Do you by chance have a website to send them to or is email best? Cheers
Looks good! I think Dustin needs a UA-cam channel.
+Tyler Boespflug Thanks! And Dustin does need a channel :)
I made a frame like this without expensive tools, just had a 20 Dollar saw and it took longer doing it alone, but it's possible. Sometimes you can't afford all these tools, so you can be creative on how you can make a frame with lesser and cheaper tools.
ccoooool
+Tito Wambuch Thanks Tito!! Take care
See that you have the Rigid 13 amp table saw right? Thats the new table saw I'm looking at buying, but people tell me that 15 amps is the way to go. Do you like this saw and think it has enough power? thanks love your videos
+soccermutt Yeah, I love that saw it is perfect for me. Are you an everyday builder/contractor? 13 Amps is just great for the DIYer, but contractors might want to consider 15 Amps. I think they're great and offer plenty of power! Cheers
+DIY PETE No Im just a DIYer myself If I'm lucky I get in the shop once or twice a week. Thanks
email is the best. single dad fulltime. hope to have a website down the road. thank you again.
+Brandon Ostermiller Thanks Brandon, I'll update this with your email address. Cheers!
Pete can I leave my contact information if someone is interested in that print or some different images?
You bet Brandon! We can update this in the website post as well as in the video description for you. That is an amazing photo of the Bridgers! Would love to help send people your way. Cheers
What is the website for the Canvas? Ty!
