- Glass: $64
- Foam core and mat: $140
- Tung oil: $9

- $50.66 / piece (with 3 frames to spare)
So for that price, I have 6 framed pieces ready to hang. AND I have 3 extra frames all ready to use in the future.
I totally recognized the Tradewinds photo! I also totally can't believe you took a picture in there. Wash Shawn or Mark around when you did it?
