I have made a frame for artwork that our friend, Irene Henjum, painted. I used reclaimed pine paneling to make the frame. I made a wide face that surrounds the painting. I mitered the edge of this and attached a thinner piece of the same pine wood that takes up the thickness of the painting. With these two pieces mitered together it gives a look of a much larger, thicker piece of wood wrapping the painting as a frame. As I had a lot of room on the back side of the frame, I attached triangles in the corners to hold the miter of the frame together and to the top of these triangles, I added some tabs that spring from the corners of the frame towards the center and hold the corners of the painting. This allows the painting to float in the frame without any noticeable connection.
