It's the time of year when you search for that perfect gift. The gift that would mean the world to your loved ones. Something that might be a keepsake for generations. It might be hanging on your wall in a cheap frame or sitting on a shelf collecting dust. 


While it's uncertain if your gift, the one you HOPE is the right one, will even arrive on time I've found the perfect solution. 


Gather the collectibles that you have of one of your loved ones and take them out to Larry Yeager, who owns and operates Larry's Custom Picture Framing. Yeager specializes in conserving your memories for generations. 


When conserving your priceless items, you need to find someone who knows how to do it and will use the right materials to preserve your keepsakes. Then you need the experience and talent to use the correct mounts and the knowledge to display your items.


Yeager stocks all of the mat board, foam core and other mounting materials that are buffered and acid-free so that over time, there is no off-gassing that can take place over time and damage the framed items. All of the glass and acrylic that he uses, block 99% of the UV rays that damage and fade items being framed.


"Conversation mounting techniques involve mounting the item so it is not damaged in any way and it can be removed from the frame many years down the road and look as good as it did when first framed," said Yeager.


The cost of conservation framing materials is higher than standard framing materials, but it is an investment in preserving the past for the future. The benefit of long-term protection of special items is well worth the investment. 


Some ideas you might consider conservation framing for might include:

  • Art Work
  • Photos
  • Prints
  • Military Memorabilia
  • Needle Work
  • Rare Documents
  • Diplomas
  • Shadowboxes


Yeager owns and operates a state-of-the-art framing shop. He uses a Wizard 8000 Computerized Mat Cutter, Cassese Under Pinner, Clearmount Dual Chop Saw Molding Cutter, Fletcher Corner-Lock Molding Joiner, Fletcher Wall Cutter, Vacuum Heat Press for dry mounting.

With over 15 years of conservation framing experience, he's ready to handle anything. His shop offers hundreds of molding and mat choices. He has attended over a dozen workshops offering conservation framing techniques through the Professional Picture Framers Association.

Yeager offers free quotes for custom framing and free delivery of the finished framing projects within 20 miles of Vinton, Iowa. 

Bring Yeager your ideas and let him put a gift together that will become a prized possession for generations. Be sure to contact Yeager now to have your gift ready in time for Christmas!
