Picture frame and a spline jig

Just gluing miter joints together is not particularly strong, but splines add strength to them. Plus, they take your woodworking to the next level by adding interesting visual elements. Andy Glass sent over this cool oak picture frame with walnut splines.

Heres the jig he used to make the spline slots. It doesnt take much to make something cool. Thanks Andy!
