This is a festive, Christmas wall art piece made from scrap pallet wood. It’s 8″ × 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.
Glue up pallet wood boards of even/uniform thickness to achieve a surface area larger than 8″ × 12″ (trim later). Alternatively, you can use plywood instead & skip the glue-up.
Sand surfaces to your desired finish.
5 minutes
Trim to final size of 8″ × 12″
40 minutes
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.
30 minutes
Clean up any “fuzzies,” blow off sawdust and paint as desired. Finish sand and clear coat.
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).
