If I were to use a wood frame, I would only staple the four sides gently & either flat or just wrap the top edge without looping the linen "over & back" in other words, only fold over (one single fold) by the way, for huge posters there is actually an item that looks alot an old roll-up movie screen like you had in school the linen fits inside a slot that clamps shut at top and you then add one more on bottom to keep the linen from curling & bulging Rich====================== At 06:18 PM 6/5/2008, Matthew McDonald wrote: This may be a bad idea, but could you have them linen backed with a couple of inches of linen on each side left, then "gallery wrap" them onto a wooden frame...like a canvas? -----Original Message----- From: MoPo List [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael B Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2008 6:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MOPO] displaying three sheets i have wall to wall, ceiling to floor posters in my media room. nearly 70 in total. 3 are three-sheets (The Stranger, Gaslight and To Each His Own). i have been collecting for 20++ years. i once had 7 three sheets displayed.

Also, you take the risk that it will get soiled. You know, your signficant other throws a drink at you and it hits Bacall instead. Bad. This advice from the six sheet King. Sorry, folks, I couldn't resist.
