Howie Gold Hand-Leafed Float Frame & Traditional Frame The Howie Frame Collection is one of TobiasMade's signature designs, featuring a 2¼-inch broad, flat face accented by a subtle concave detail along the inner edge. This elegant shadow line naturally draws the eye toward your artwork while allowing the painting—not the frame—to remain the focal point. With its clean architectural profile and timeless design, the Howie complements everything from small studies to large statement pieces. Its understated style pairs beautifully with contemporary, traditional, landscape, floral, figurative, wildlife, and abstract artwork, making it one of our most versatile handcrafted wood frames. Each frame is carefully handcrafted from premium poplar and built to order in our Utah workshop. Available as a Float Frame or Traditional Frame The Howie is available in both Float Frame and Traditional Frame styles, giving artists the flexibility to display their work exactly as they envision. Our standard ¾-inch deep frame is designed to accommodate artwork up to ¼ inch thick, making it an excellent choice for: Hardboard Painting Panels MDF Painting Panels Wood Painting Panels Canvas Panels Fine Art Prints If your artwork is deeper than ¼ inch, we recommend selecting our Howie 1½-inch Deep Float Frame or Howie 2-inch Deep Float Frame, specifically designed for cradled panels, stretched canvases, and deeper artwork. Hand-Leafed Gold Finish Every Howie Gold Frame is individually hand leafed by skilled craftsmen before being finished with a protective wax coating. This process creates a rich, luminous gold finish with subtle variations that celebrate the beauty of traditional hand-applied leafing. No two frames are exactly alike, giving each piece its own distinctive character.
