This was an easy project. The customer had a pine frame and it didn’t match after I built their tv stand and new mantle.

The black is the part of the original pine plywood frame. I just painted it black and added a small piece of oak molding,
then a strip of 1/4″ oak plywood ,and then finished with another piece of oak molding to cover the edges.

The frame looks like it is solid oak It has a red mahogany stain with a coat of sprayed lacquer.

This was an 8′ molding I bought at my local home improvement store.
I took the picture out of an 8″x10″ frame my wife had and cut the molding to size, stained and voila, it looks much better than the old cheap looking frame
