I will let Les (on his way to the South Pacific) explain in more detail but the simple answer is they are handmade prototypes for hanging pieces like this for future workshops, DIY's and possibly to provide in a yet to be instituted paper arts (shop). As an economical, attractive means to present large works on appropriate material. I forget what kind of wood he made them from.
Thanks, Cynthia. Our workshops are held in Havre de Grace, Maryland, a lovely picturesque and historic town on the Chesapeake Bay. Lots of lodging options and tons of landscape and wildlife opportunities that can be sandwiched around the workshops.
I learned in the portfolio workshop that you just have to print something and look and look at it. I have seen a metal print taken on a 12 megapixel Nikon printed 8 feet by ten feet. It looks like you could walk into it. I agree that glass is more important than megapixels. And perceived sharpness is a combination of resolution and contrast. The thing that makes my 1980s Carl Zies lenses so great is contrast. Natural contrast not the computer generated kind.
Swap out the outlets and covers for black.
Good suggestion. Thanks. I’ll give it a try.
We're looking, the place we got these didn't have any, so these had to do for the moment.

What are you using for the wooden clamps/clips? holding the prints at the top and bottom?

Thank you Bob! No hurry. I think they look great!
Where are your workshops held? Thanks, and Happy Holidays!
Could you please answer my question? I'd be interested, but it seems like they all might be in San Francisco?
