Reclaimed Wood Stenciling Project

January 21, 2017 By: admincomment

Stenciling is a new project challenge.  I’ll be giving more step by step descriptions in future projects.

First you need wood of course. I have been using some reclaimed pallet wood. You have to be a little more cautious about the pallet wood you get considering all the different products are shipped on it.

I usually clean it with a spray bottle filled with vinegar.  That should kill any typical bacteria.

I also lightly sand it to get the entire rough surface off, since you need relatively smooth surface to use your stencil on.

I have use 2×2 wood and nailed my planks onto it using finishing nails. It keeps your project fairly light but strong

I’ve used acrylic paint and a technique called dry brushing.
