Jack's last name escapes me at the moment but it isn't Franklin. He told me the story in one of several telephone conversations I had with him in the process of repainting/restoring a Tim
Issacs frame. He said that it's such a common and frequent mistake that he doesn't even bother correcting people anymore.

His work as a frame maker and as a painter are indeed first class. Jack's work is so consistently good that he does contract work on the quiet for some of the "superstar" painters when they have overflow schedules.

The Issacs frame was a particular challenge because it had some formidable rust issues, plus 11 separate and different decals which had to be replicated. Every reproduction was spot on. And his delivery promise was met as agreed. Impressive.

Cheers,
