I'm a cabinetmaker, and my wife and I went to Hawaii on our 25th anniversary in 2001. I saw a map of the Sandwich Islands that I loved. Unframed it was $95. Framed in koa wood, it was $795.I told my wife that I could go home, get a book on matting and framing, and for what they were going to charge for the one item, I could frame it and the other things we'd purchased as souvenirs. And that's just what I did. Interestingly enough, koa wood is very expensive. At that time I paid $26 a board foot for it. I purchased two boards which cost me $700, but from them I made six frames. I have no idea of what the price would be today.I spent over a week going through this book. I studied it like I was preparing for a test, taking notes and so forth. Personally, I found it enormously helpful, but perhaps it was geared to people like me. I do know that I have just purchased a second copy which I mean to give to a friend of ours. She is a fledgling photographer who is starting to get some notice. However, she has her photos matted, and the person doing the job is terrible. This book will set her straight.I can honestly say that I have gotten raves for my matting over the years. And I learned every bit of it from this book. I like the mat cutter he used and got one for myself. It's easy to work with, but again, as a cabinetmaker I do much more complex things, so I may not be a fair judge of it. I just know it works for me, and I would recommend it to anyone starting out in the field. As for the matting, there is a whole method to which mats to use and how to use them, all of which I got from this book. Finally, for those who may not be able to make their own molding, the author sets forth several methods of work.Again, what works for me may not work for others. But since I was getting this book for a friend, I thought I'd give my two cents on the subject. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ How to frame photos *by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2018* This book covers the details for framing, matting and finishing framed artwork. Also, some framing issues are covered and it does a practical explanation of how to put it all together. It is well written. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good introductory survey *by C***G on Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2009* I was looking to acquire enough information to start framing a couple of items, and so wanted a book that would discuss the basics in detail. This book takes a more general introductory approach, including chapters on woodworking basics and various types of framing jobs--ideal for someone with no background looking to start framing as a hobby or business. If you have some woodworking background and know what type of framing you want to do, you should probably look elsewhere. However, if you want an introduction to the overall practice of framing, the types of tools and skills required, and are ready to pursue other information for deeper coverage, it's a good starting place. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/109259157-home-book-of-picture-framing-professional-secrets-of-mounting-matting](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/109259157-home-book-of-picture-framing-professional-secrets-of-mounting-matting) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
