I would also add a sheet to the back of the frame telling the history of this piece. Beautiful!

I agree with Candace. Anything beyond this will decrease the value. I think you should explain this to the owner as well. If they opt for any of your other options then that is up to them. But if it was me, I would not touch it.Originally Posted by Candace

I must say this is a magnificant piece of work!

I agree with making sure the history is with it when framed, that way all generations know there history. God bless.Originally Posted by sahm4605
I would frame it. while finishing it off would be wonderful I wouldn't. I think that unless it was made by a family member, it wouldn't be right to add to it. Especially since it seems to have at least sentimental value. But this is just me. If you frame it I would either type out or if you have great handwriting, write the story behind it and then have that frames with it.
