Scrap Wood Project – Crate

November 24, 2015

srap wood challenge www.sawdust2stitches.com

 Hey all! Today I am taking a challenge… Sawdust Girl’s  “Scrap Wood Challenge”.  Sandra wanted to see what could be made using ONLY  scrap wood…

WELL…  my sweet hubby had recently  brought home this pile of rough lumber… it was in pretty  rough shape… it was PERFECT for what  I needed!

 Some of the lumber still had stamps from the mill. I loved it, so I let them stay.

 I was running short on  rough lumber, so some of my spare 1×3″s got in on my “x” action. IMG_6750

As you can see, this build is a little bit of this, and a little bit of that. IMG_6766

 Thank goodness, I hadn’t thrown out all my scraps from applying “faux shiplap” to my walls.  It was perfect for what I needed!  I used it to plank the inside of my crate.

 The rope was individually too thin for my tastes, so I layered them up!

Too add a little more character, I used a sharpie marker and added my own “stamps” to the outside of the crate.

    Did you stain it, and if so, with what? Looks like old barnwood – it’s awesome.

      It is stained. I started by staining with Jacobean by Minwax. I then sanded. After that I went over it with a gray stain!

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.
