Welcome! / Forums / General Woodworking Discussions / Woodworking Methods and Techniques / leveling surface of picture frame joint of non flat profile
So I’ve made several simple picture frames following what Paul shows in that video series. I’ve become hesitant to do a more complex profile on the frame (something with a curve or whatever) because each frame I make with a flat face takes some ‘truing up’ after it is glued.
I focus on the front of the frame and internal corner when I’m doing the gluing. The surface levels are usually off by a small amount (only your finger can really tell that they are uneven). Simple enough to correct after gluing with a flat front frame. (this also is when the excess glue can be removed)
For the glue bit I’ve thought about masking tape near the edges to protect those surfaces but I think adding that could also worsen the problem of misalignment on the faces.
Any tips to address this?
