Default Is anyone a picture framer?

Because I am building up a decent pile of stuff I want framed or mounted!

Can anyone on here do canvas prints?

I also have in the pile a couple of maps I want framed or mounted. One is an old fashioned Michelin style map....you know the huge foldy foldy ones that fill the whole car....so I'm not sure how to go with that one.
I can imagine glass would be very heavy and expensive at that size but I have heard that using perspex is crap because it always has a wave in it at that size and is near impossible to use without it attracting dust.
I thought about block mounting but the map is folded so has creases in it which I think would mean a poor quality finish.

I have heaps of canvases that need framing or stretching. I was thinking of stretching them myself, but i have way to many for just me to do.

Who is in the industry and wants to buy some off me for cheap?

I have been getting some of my memorabilia framed up by Hugh at Gosnells framing gallery in Gosnells. A mate of dads is a eurologist and does some painting and he used hugh aswell so I figure he is fine with canvas etc. His number is 9398 7811.

Below are the photos of the stuff he has done for me so far. They have ranged in price from about $240 up to $270 each but that includes everything. i.e. the plaque, the box etc.







I drop one off and about a month later pick it up and drop the next one off.

These guys are awesome. Had a lot of work done through them for both work and personal items, and they do some good work. Quick and helpful too.

I have just accumulated a heap of stuff over the years. I bought a house so I figured I should get it all framed before I move in.

The scoop is signed by Maakinen, Solberg, Crocker and Herridge and all their co drivers. I got it (I think) in about 2002 when there was still a subaru rally team aus and maakinen was still with subaru.
