diy wood sign





we salvaged this wood from the tornado so we wanted to use it to make something special.
i don't know where i first saw the wood wall art, but i love them!






i cut these small planks to nail the boards into the planks for stability.


i sanded the boards to make them smooth before stenciling a Bible verse with these bad boys (from michael's)


so here's the low down. don't run to your Bible as you read this post...
i somehow messed up twice (yes, not once but twice) and got to stenciling before I knew what was next. it was really funny, but you had to be there.

the heart of the verse is the same, its just the alana version.



after stenciling i painted polyurethane on top to seal the wood. what i liked about this kind is that there is no shine, it just made the wood a little darker and the words stand out.


the final product again.
