@Krypticflask Round frames I buy. They are made of many layers of thin wood steam bent, glued, and sanded. Octagonal frames I make myself. I bevel the edges of my chosen pieces of wood to a 22 1/2 degree angle and glue them securely. If you have the talent, I recommend dovetailing the joints,...

  @clarestemp86 I used to get my rawhide from Minute Bear Trading, but I think they have gone out of business.
