He has Framed a lot of People

John Klaysmat doesn't set out to frame people, but he usually ends up doing just that. John puts a new twist on classic picture framing by using local rough lumber in creating fine picture frames and museum quality matting for limited edition art. John's craftsmanship not only adorns homes throughout the country, but hangs in several Crane Lake area businesses including Sandpoint Lodge, Voyagaire Lodge and the Wildwood Escape.
