This project is really my Wife’s project, but I tend to get
drawn into most of her projects because they involve the use of MY tools.
We built the wooden structure using pine scraps that I had
left-over from previous projects. I laid
out the boards, making cuts where needed to create the planned randomness until
it received the necessary approval from Liz.
I glued and finish nailed perpendicular boards from the
backside to avoid nail holes on the front.
The perpendicular boards hold the horizontal boards together, but they
also space the picture off the wall to give it more depth.
We stained the entire picture with the light brown color you
see in the land masses. Next, we applied
a world decal purchased off etsy. Then, we
applied a few coats of dark brown stain over the entire picture until we
achieved the desired amount of contrast.
Finally, the last and hardest step (joking but really the whole project
was extremely easy) we removed the decal and threw it in the trash leaving the
result you see on our wall.
