KatFord Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Love how these turned out! I went with the wide craft sticks and used the chop saw I got for my birthday to take off the ends. That was the best gift! I can't believe how quickly I was able to whip through the cuts! I'm working on the Mediterranean tile in the back of the room now.

I used a couple of wood carving tools to gouge them up and add scratch marks. Then my wood burning tool to add the darker textures and nail holes. The stain is first, Early American and then Classic gray quickly wiped back on top. The green line was a happy accident. I was looking for something to add some small holes and the green paint brush scuffed. I really like the added little detail with it.

Keifer Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Well done! I think the wider sticks look better in a darker stain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past, I've used a miter box and hand saw. Kim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
