I did save these pieces from that fate. They are all about 1 5/8" wide and cut to different lengths from 15" - 16". I glued and nailed two cross pieces that hold these all together. I used my steel wool and vinegar stain which I described here and then did a dry-brushing of white over top.
The saying is hand painted in black, perfect for Valentine's or any day:
16" high x 13 1/2" wide
Now, just think, these pieces of pine would have been burned up! I think I'm going to have to really take a second and third look at my scraps from now on.
This sign is for sale for $40. Or maybe I can make a special sign for you? Please contact me through my email at follow.your.heart@live.ca

How cute! I know what you mean about the scraps. There comes a point at which no more will fit in the bins or shelves and then they are just a safety hazard. I'm glad you were able to save these and make something useful and hopefully profitable from them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to utilize those left over pieces, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSweet and so true! Pinned your beautiful sign:)
