I saw a post on Fixthisbuildthat.com about making wall art. It looked super cool so I thought i would give it a shot. My wife loved the first one so I made two more per her request. These are pretty easy to do if you have a table saw and a miter saw.
Estimated Cost
I spent 34 dollars on wood shorts at my local hardwood store. I have read that you can get hardwood scraps form cabinet builders and lumber yards if you have any close by. May be worth a shot maybe you could do these for free. I had walnut from a previous project so I did not buy the walnut or it may have been a little more.
Estimated Time Investment
Afternoon Project (3-6 Hours)
Finish Used
I used mineral oil to give the wood a nice pop.
