I appreciate it but the splines being uneven tells me maybe I need to adjust my 2 minute TS spline jig I made last night a bit better.

How would you frame this?

Does your jig have a stabilizer which rides over the fence?
Tilting could cause this.

I thought the object of framing artwork was to emphasize the artwork, not the frame splines.
 I agree that future improvement is always a good goal, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with what you’ve got there.

Oh it is.... but the recipient knows nothing about the splines, miters etc.... in fact when I gave it to him he asked if the solid oak frame was "real wood". I was using this opportunity to do something that I never have done. 1...I never made a picture frame. Nope...never had. And 2. I wanted to try some splined meters.

Haha, oh my, you are absolutely right about the recipient. When they order a photo frame, they have almost no expectations other than the color of the wood.
