{"product_id":"ceramic-tile-frame-fumed-quartersawn-oak-motawi-rookwood-mission-small","title":"Ceramic Tile Frame | Fumed Quartersawn Oak | Motawi Rookwood Mission - Small","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis frame is engineered from heavy 5\/4 stock to hold standard small ceramic art tiles (single 6x6, 8x8, or double tile configurations) from makers like Motawi, Rookwood, and Grueby, or antique Arts \u0026amp; Craft tiles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotice for U.S. Buyers: Due to current US tariffs on imported Canadian wood products (up to 50%), all US orders ship via Delivered Duty Paid (DDP). Applicable duties and tariffs are calculated and included directly in your US shipping fee at checkout, ensuring zero surprise charges upon delivery. \u003cbr\u003eDesign and Joinery \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMilled in my Toronto workshop, each frame features hand-fitted mortise and tenon joinery to provide a rigid mechanical bond capable of supporting heavy ceramic tiles without sagging over time. \u003cbr\u003eAmmonia Fuming \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRather than using surface stains, the deep brown colour is achieved through traditional ammonia fuming. Ammonia reacts directly with the natural tannins in the white oak, causing the wood tone to shift visually under different natural lighting conditions throughout the day. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo maintain consistent depth across the entire piece, any sapwood is treated with natural tea tannins and aniline dye so it reacts evenly alongside the heartwood during fuming. \u003cbr\u003eMaterials and Bench Details \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSolid 5\/4 Timber Profile: Milled to a finished 1\" thickness to provide proper visual proportion and inset shadow depth for thick ceramic tiles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWood Species: Available in Quarter-Sawn White Oak (QSWO), Black Walnut, Cherry, or Ash. Please see additional listings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHand-Scraped Finish: Surface prep is completed using bench planes and scrapers rather than power sanders. Scraped wood fibres leave the medullary rays sharp and clear. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCustom Rebate Depth: Internal rebates are routed to the precise thickness of your specific tile (typically 1\/2\" to 3\/4\") for a flush fit. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensional Stability: Built with furniture-grade plywood backing rather than solid wood. Tile frames require the stability of plywood to prevent seasonal wood movement from cracking brittle ceramic art. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAssembly and Finish: Joined with traditional hot hide glue and sealed with hand-rubbed shellac and natural wax. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardware and Sizing Guide \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFitted with heavy-duty recessed Italian cabinet hangers and solid brass turn buttons for a flush wall mount. Calculate your tier using the combined outside length and width (United Inches): \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSmall Tier (Up to 24 combined inches): Designed for single tiles (such as 6x6 or 8x8) or small two-tile horizontal\/vertical pairings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNote for Collectors: Please message me with your tile dimensions and exact thickness upon ordering so I can rout the rear rebate correctly. \u003cbr\u003eProduction and Delivery \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduction Time: 6 to 8 weeks for milling, fuming, and hand finishing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePackaging: Shipped in reinforced double-walled packaging with internal bracing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUS Shipping \u0026amp; Import Duties: Ships directly from Toronto, Canada via DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) tracked delivery.
