2018 Christmas Project #1
description
This is a festive, Christmas wall art piece made from scrap pallet wood. It's 8" x 12" but you can easily scale it up or down to any size you like. I expect the price point for this (here in Downeast Maine) to be somewhere around $35.00 to $40.00.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Glue -up
Glue up pallet wood boards of even/uniform thickness to achieve a surface area larger than 8" x 12" (trim later). Alternatively, you can use plywood instead & skip the glue-up.
2. Lots of Sanding!
Sand surfaces to your desired finish.
3. Trimming
Trim to final size of 8" x 12"
Estimated time: 5 minutes
4. Carve!
Clamp wood on your X-Carve waste board, set up the Easel files, etc. and "let 'er rip." Go get a cup of coffee and come back in a few minutes.
Estimated time: 40 minutes
5. Clean and paint
Clean up any "fuzzies," blow off sawdust and paint as desired. Finish sand and clear coat.
Estimated time: 30 minutes
6. Optional
glue some border strips around edges, and add some sort of picture hanging hardware on back - you're then good to go. Add this piece to your craft show inventory or hang it on your wall (in season).
