Joe_G.Rob, great item(s)!, I would be all over it myself if there were a direct connection to my collection.
Just in case you haven't already done so, a little word of caution on the framed piece. You might want to consider, if you haven't already, placing something safe between the cabinet and the wood backing. The thin wood slats (usually ~1/8" thick) can be damaging. Wood is very acidic and high in lignin, which causes acid burn and staining. Because it requires light to facilitate the process, the areas around openings and/or knotholes will be darker. Also the raw edges allow the release of the lignin. Consequently you get an actual pattern that follows the grain of the wood, including knotholes and seam lines on the back side of the cabinet that can stain all the way through the mount into the picture.
And Trevor, what is the best way to get ahold of you these days?, send me an email if you could.
Best Regards,
Joe Gonsowski
