Ken O Posted September 8, 2014 Report Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) Been really busy the past couple months. Been making all kinds of stuff. I only do one show a year and this is a big one. Got 2 picture frames done with crackel paint. Got all my horses cut out and stained. Got the planks the horses will go on cleared, got 2 rose lamps done and cleared, just need to put the hardware on. That's just what I got done this weekend. Edited September 8, 2014 by Ken O bobscroll and amazingkevin 2 Quote

LarryEA Posted September 8, 2014 Report Posted September 8, 2014 Your (Dad's) horse idea is a winner. I suspect you will have a good time selling at your yearly craft show. Quote

penquin Posted September 9, 2014 Report Posted September 9, 2014 Looks like you are set to go. Good luck. Maybe I am in the dark a bit but don't understand the horses and the planks. Maybe I missed a post somewhere. jim penquin Quote

Maybe I missed a post somewhere. jim penquin No problem. My dad went to an estate sale last summer and picked up a pile of old cedar planks. They look like the tailings that the mill can't use. He had them for a while wondering what to do and thought if he sanded one down, stained and cleared it and then put a herd of running horses across it and then hang it on the wall that it might look pretty good. It did. I decided to do the same thing but made the horses a little more detailed. He still has about a dozen of these planks so I'll have to take the truck and pick up a few more if these sell well.

Ken O Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Posted September 9, 2014 the cracked paint is perfect would love to see a how to on this one day. great work and good luck hope you only bring home folding bills The crackle paint is Valspar. I got it at Hobby Lobby. Lots of different base and top coat colors but they only had gold base and whit topcoat at our store. The more topcoat you spray on, the bigger the cracks. It was really strange to do this on purpose after having it happen on accident a time or two in the past. Quote
