I had it attached and just didn't like the way it looked. I made it a floater and sanded it down so that it is a bit recessed giving it more of a 3D look though it doesn't show in the picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdatelle Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Great job Charlie. I have a bunch of Red Oak but it doesn't look like that. How did you get that color. Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you get that color. Hi Ralph. I bought several boards like this at a local antique/craft shop. One of the booths has various kinds of air dried lumber. I think the color may be due to how it was dried, maybe some fungus causing some spalting in the area that l used as land. I guess a better answer would be, I don't really know. I got around 6 boards for $20 so it's dirt cheap, but it has some beetle holes in it so I have to deal with making sure they're taken care of/dead. I heat it up to 140 degrees for a couple of hours in the warming drawer on our oven. rdatelle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
