I was making frames also just a couple of years back, but stopped because I could purchase finished frames and onsell them for a decent markup and save myself the time. Time which could be better spent painting.

it would depend if the frame was a work of art also, such as the ones Bruno Altmayer makes for his work. Or Dominique Desorges. They are an integral part of the artwork itself. I like the frames Reinhard Schmid makes for some of his work, sometimes out of found materials.
In Canada, I knew an artist who would paint on old doors salvaged from trashed antique furniture and house doors, but forgot her name.
I have a couple of buddies who are doing a roaring trade with their artwork painted on old things that they find on the Berlin flea markets. It can be a great starting point.
