Floating box canvas, by Greekboy on Sept 22, 2015 22:37:13 GMT 1, Could anyone share info in regards to floating a box canvas in a tray frame? There are a couple of pieces I am considering framing, but my framer insists that the canvas is screwed into the tray frame to hold it in place. Is this standard practice? Any info would be appreciated.

... a common way is to screw a wedge shape to the tray and then add an opposite wedge to the canvas frame and with a bit of skill lift and join the two wedges together a bit ying and yang so to speak ...
... he could even leave off one side of the frame and slide the two wedges into place before sealing it screwing the edge frame into place - if you are after a tight-ish tray frame.
