Metal Paper Prints

Honey Bee Print

I don't know if this print has any art value but it is a trophy for me.  Both bees are sharp even down to the pollen on their bodies.  I really like it

Sanding Block

Bit and Back of Mount

I have chosen to use nominal 1x4 pine for the mount.  I have had suggestions of other means of mounting but presently I am still using the pine for the standoff properties.  I have been using nominal 4x4 pieces for the square prints and 4x8 for the oblong prints.  The extra length gives me the choice of mounting it horizontally or vertically on the back.  I can use it to mitigate any warp in the backing of the print.  I find that using a woodworker's brace and bit allows me to back drill the hole eliminating splitting.  I stop drilling when the point clears the back surface and drill from the back side.  The holes line up and it makes a neat job.

Locating the Hanging Point

I use the same 1/3 rd distance from top to bottom that I use for framed prints.  Of course, I center the point.

Hole in the Mount Goes Over the Located Hanging Point

I tried not drilling the mounting block all the way through but opted for drilling it though because locating it on the back was greatly simplified.  I just center the hole over the location mark I made on the back.
