Framing a 36 x 12 is a piece of cake. Most of what my wife frames is
custom sizes so making a frame to fit a 36 x 12 is an every day event.
The standard matt size is 40 x 32 so you could even get a 2" wide matt
to surround the pic and frame it without a special order (special order
matts go up to 60 x 40).

Thank you. I saw the clouds that afternoon and they just about blew
my mind away. I mentioned it to several people and they hadn't
looked upward. I guess I otta buy some of the 13" roll paper and see
what kind of trouble I can get in to.
