Thanks, a backing board seems like a pretty good idea. I have some hardboard the right size but I’m guessing ply would be better.
I like the look (and price) of those Rymans hangers too.
First job is the shelf - I’ve got a nice piece of planed sapele and some tung oil in the garage... Just need to find a decent method. Every YouTube video contradicts the rest!
Hardboard is totally fine. It may be advantageous as a bit of flex will help it conform to the uneven frame. The board will mostly help keep the frame square - and therefore strong.
Rymans are definitely my go to, but they are a bit spendy if you've got a house full of pictures to hang.
