We LOVE this Rustic X Console table! We used a Kona stain and we took the iron hardware and rusted it up with heat, vinegar, salt and hydrogen peroxide.

Crayon bed

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 11/12/2016 - 19:26

My son loves to color so we decided to make him a bed that looked like crayons 

 

The headboard is mounted on the wall with a french cleat 

The footboard is mounted to the metal bed frame with carriage bolts 

The entire project is made of shiplap board which gives it the drooves in between each "crayon"

Hardest part was getting the crayon tip risht and transferring it to each board 

Longest part was taping, painting, waiting, paiting, removing tape, retaping ....... and continue 

We used behr bright white paint and then paint samples for the colored parts and finished it with general finishes satin top coat

 

Turned out better than expected especially since this is only my second woodworking project ever and my son loveeesss it !!!
