Reclaimed Wood DIY

I love the rustic look of weathered wood and I'm always looking for scraps to use

for some project.  A friend had some old fence panels in her garden shed that had just been

there for years and she just hadn't gotten around to throwing them away.

I asked if I could have a couple to play with and a new project was born.

I had 2 panels to work with, each 6 foot long.  

They were in great condition with gorgeous grey coloring.

I decided that I wanted to use them for a backdrop for some photos.

I started gathering the few tools I would need, and of course the battery to the saw was missing.

Successful search and soon my wood was cut into 6 clean pieces.

I few years ago my husband surprised me with a great set of various size nail and staple guns.

For this particular project I only needed the small staple gun and the small air compressor.

I used a scrap piece of craft wood to attach all my pieces together.

You can probably tell I love a powertool.

My husband always says the best thing about old age is that we can afford

more tools to play with, a man after my heart, lol.

My little panel is finished.  So quick and easy.

My photo turned out adorable and I have the backdrop for more photos in the future.

Thanks for spending time with me today.

Have a fantastic rest of the day.
