Barnes Foundation Groundbreaking Shovel Shadow box Frame

The renowned Barnes Foundation, long of Latchs Lane in Merion, finally broke ground on a new $150 million museum building along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia.
We were contacted to frame one of the 27 shovels used in the cerimony.
Here are some picture of the project from starting with raw wood and a simply design.

We chose ash wood for the frame as it is the same wood used for the shaft and handle of the shovel. The shovel was mounted to a neutral linen fabric wrapped backing board. UV acrylic was used for the glazing.
