DIY WOOD WORK (Rustic Burnt art) - Home Decor

Last week, I went into this cafe and saw wood art furniture and home decorations being displayed in their shop, and thought for my self "Hey! I can do this!". And then when I went home, I remembered I had extra wood to work on my own home decor. It was then I decided I'm going to make one.

Every house maker desires to renovate his home with the ultimate design of furniture items. If you are also one of them who are planning to refurbish and renovate his place with new wooden furniture items, then you must have the wish of bringing change in your house’s atmosphere with stylish furniture products. And if you are looking to decorate your bedroom with wooden bed frames, headboards, and side tables, then you will find recycled wooden pallet planks as the best option for it.

Wood craft is perfect as amazing ordinary and unusual household items. These may include basic furniture to cater your needs or innovative and creative decorative items to enhance the character of your home’s interior decor and bring to it a personalized touch. And this is always more satisfying to do it in very less amount of money. PWood can also be used to build a variety of items apart form normal household requirements, items of an extended utility. In this article we will bring to you such amazing ideas of extended value and utility.

So here is my own version of the wood art and then I also included the steps on how I did it.

So this is the wood art I made. This is to be hanged on the wall to complement the house color which is green. I thought it might be nice to put some rustic wood art on it so it might have a homey and antique vibes on that part of the house.

These are the steps I did to create my wood art.

1. This is the wood I used. It is a 2" by 1" woos, and the length is 2.4 M. It cut it into 2"x2"x1" cube using a wood saw.
   

2. These are the wood cuttings. The dimension is 2"x2"x1".
   

3. However, these wood cuttings are not smooth, so I used a rough sand paper to smooth the edges and the surface.
   

4. After sandpapering the wood cuttings, these are the smooth products.
   

5. Using wood glue, I glued the wood cuttings into a flat plywood in rows and columns but the positioning is random to create an effect of asymmetry.
   

6. These is how I glued them.
   

7. I then put a 2nd layer of glued wood cuttings.
   

8. To create a rustic and burnt effect, I poured on gasoline on it and literally lit it on fire.
   

9. I let it burn and visually check it. I then put some more gasoline on to some parts to create a more burnt effect on that particular area.
   

10. This is the burnt effect.
    

11. To coat the wood art and give it a more homey look, I applied varnish coating on it's surface.
    

12. This is how I applied it. Observe the difference between the part without coating and the part with the varnish coating.
    

13. This is how it looks with the varnish coat. The wood vibes has been brought out by the coating.
    

14. After the coating has dried, I tried putting it on the wall. It looks very nice and homey. Just like how I wanted it.
    

15. DONE!!!
    

SO THAT WAS IT GUYS!!!
