Yesterday someone posted a link to some rather well made exotic wooden frames, I can't find it today. Would some kind individual please point it out to me.

Thanks,

Chip

Why don't you get busy some weekend and make your own?? It shouldn't be that hard.

Is there a special technique for springing lenses into wooden frames?

Not much different than any other snap-fit. Don't use glass.

There is a designer in Russia with a company called Best Glasses that does some gorgeous work. Here are a few more wooden frame producers that I have come across.

Exploring his website he also makes specs from old records, which got me thinking, what are some the most unusual frame materials you have come across and what were they like to glaze?

I seem to recall in the 70s & 80s you used to get frames made from perspex, but that they were prone to snapping.
