Yes vendors sell them, but try and get one for a print you have cropped to an unusual/custom size.
Using foam core is great, the only couple issues is covering the edges...when we used Foam Core we would take Artist Colored Paper Tape to wrap around the perimeter.also Foam core would warp after awhile or sag into the box if they were large. Things tend to ward toward the side not supported or covered, if you decide to use foam core, coat the back side with a sealer. It helps stabilize it and it will breath the same as the front side (which is in a sense sealed by the dry mounted print). This is true with any substrate.
We too would drill 4 holes in the back then use a keyhole router bit to complete the hole for hanging. They were also great as free standing with a slight weight placed in back on lower part of frame. These were very popular in the Parson table days. Everything was flush and cubical. There are so many different concepts, building methods etc.etc. The great thing was is was usually made from all scrap materials heading for the trash bin.

Thanks for the special note on sealing the back side also. I should know this already as this is the same for counters cabinets etc.!

Just a little tip...if you hit "quote reply" you can better associate your return message with the original message. You have so many responses posted in a row it's kind of hard to tell who you are responding to with some of them.
Thanks for the hint, I will use it from here on out! -Sherry
I worked for a cabinet shop for 27 years but took up photography after I had left due to medical reasons. There are a lot of vendor sites that sell story blocks which are similar but they use fiber board (very light) and countersink 4 holes on the back so you can hang portrait or landscape. Some even start with a much larger one for the back and and smaller ones on top (idea is to be able to change photos out) I have currently been working on one but using the 1/4" foam core to see how it turns out. If you protect the photo, they are dang near indestructible, I hang mine on my grand daughter's door using velcro, she removes them all the time and carries them around. Also black or white formica can make for nice background and base photos. Clamp it to a ping pong table that has one side up and leave a curve in it, then there are no wrinkles or lines in your stock or still life photos!-Sherry
Thank you for giving me your detailed comments, I appreciate the time you put into it and with kindness helped a lot! lol
Yes, it is the bride's day, it was illustrating the getting ready part, maybe I should have shot from a different angle! -Sherry
Thanks much for commenting and letting me know how you feel. I might even try the stocking just to see the effects I get, plan on shooting some still life tomorrow! -Sherry
Congratulations and I believe as of now you actually have a bouquet of roses from your friends at UHH! -Sherry

Wow, Sherry H. I do love those blue shoes.
No limit on posts. 1, 3 or more, whatever.
It's supposed to be something shot today, however, I often resort to archives, many of us do.
Welcome.
Oh and by the way, these are my daughter's shoes she wore to her wedding, just last week. I have another posting similar but different under the "comment" forum, again thanks for your help! -Sherry
Thanks for letting me know the "rules" I will try and keep to something shot during that day as long as I can!!! -Sherry

Blue Eyes
Blue Shine
Something Blue
Very nicely done, so velvety looking with just the right cropping and lighting! -Sherry
Both are very nicely done, however on the first one I am wondering if keeping the right paw from being cropped off might have helped. Still great job on both! - Sherry

Thanks for your input, I agree with you in every aspect. Thanks for being kind about it. I am very new to photo shop editing. I have a subscription but have yet to go the any but he 1st cd. Need to make sure I find time to accomplish this stuff! thanks again, Sherry
Thanks for your input, you handled the critique very nicely and that is what truly matters. I may post a couple more as I get through them. I don't have very many as I was not the professional photographer of the day. Nice to hear from you.
-Sherry
Thanks for replying and I love your photos. I will go to your website to review some more. Thanks for your helpful comments. -Sherry
