The black wood frames I was using from Documounts were, according to them,
from Larson Juhl (sku 372285). I could order these in paired pieces of any
sizes, and they used plastic locking pieces to assemble the final frame.
(One receipt referred to them as "thumbnails.") As such, it was easy to
make frames of any dimensions and shipping was easier. When I look for
Larson Juhl frames, they appear to be all at local frame shops. When I
look at the wood frames from the internet sellers, they all appear to be
pre-assembled frames. If the pre-assembled are the right sizes, the prices
(before shipping) are often good, but I don't see the sizes I need -- for
example, the 13" x 28" size that I use for the high gloss panoramas that
are selling so well.

I don't mind giving my local shops the business. In fact, I'd like to get
out of the framing business entirely. However, most of my purchasers are
price sensitive and the framers end up making most of the money if they do
that work. So for the time being, I think I'm going to have to continue
being a reluctant framer.
