For the past five years, 45 Degree Custom Framing, owned by Kirk Phillip, has been helping people in Stone County turn their memories and ideas into something truly special. With a focus on quality craftsmanship and personal service, this local business has become a trusted place for preserving life’s meaningful moments.

At 45 Degree Custom Framing, it’s about more than just frames—it’s about telling a story. From custom picture framing and large format printing to photo restoration and graphic design, the shop offers a wide range of services to meet both personal and business needs. Whether it’s a favorite family photo, a piece of artwork, or a special keepsake, every project is handled with care and attention to detail.

The shop also features a unique gallery and gift area filled with locally inspired items. Visitors can browse framed artwork, Table Rock Lake maps, engraved cutting boards, custom tumblers, and lake-themed décor—perfect for gifts or adding a personal touch to any space.

What makes 45 Degree Custom Framing stand out is its dedication to customers. “We stand out from the competition through our commitment to exceptional customer service and attention to detail,” Phillip says. The business is known for quick turnaround times while still maintaining a high level of quality, offering a great alternative to big box stores with a more personal experience.

Being part of the Table Rock Lake Chamber of Commerce has also played an important role in their success. The Chamber has provided support, advice, and valuable referrals that have helped connect them with customers throughout the community.
