    You want to make sure it matches the photograph itself, but you also need to make sure it matches the place you're going to put it. What's popular right now are neutral colors, grays, blues, blacks, creams, and beiges. If you don't have a lot of black in your house, having black frames or black mats might look a little odd. It also depends on what's in the photograph.

  • Question
    Do you recommend free handing a miter cut using a hacksaw with a busy metal cutting blade? Interesting technique.
    Community Answer
    Good point! A proper wood saw would do a much neater job and would make the job much easier. Also, there is no mention of sanding the cut smooth before gluing the pieces together.
