Kapiteinterzee on Jan 06, 2016I’m a DIY fanatic and ideas for all this wood (that I wish I had) are plentiful. To wit: 1. Do an “Interest Wall” (Entry Way, Home Office, Vestibule, etc.) with the assortment in a “Chevron,” “Angled at 45 degrees,” “Short Length Pieces in either design” or whatever suits your fancy; 2.Make a center table (or hack a cheap center table) with a pattern of assorted overlaid strips of your wood designed and cut to length as you’d like; 3. As in number 2), above, overlay your wood on a hack of a cheap Entryway or End Table; 4. Make, from scratch, benches, stools and chairs for exterior use (in which case you’ll need to weatherproof the finished item, and: 5. Make Photo Frames as most people do. . . but this is mundane and boring. Remember that –“The tougher the job, the more fulfilling the satisfaction!”Helpful Reply

Robin on Jan 06, 2016Headboard, barn door, garden/plant work station, rustic signs in a variety of sizes, rustic storage boxes/crates, planter boxes and add wheels if they are large, tiles add felt to the bottoms and two handles to use as a tray for perfumes, a decorative tray or cheese tray (must use a liner of some sort between the food and tile unless tile is sealed with food safe product)Helpful Reply

Kayo Frazier on Jan 06, 2016Here's my 2 cents...I would make a funky room divider or if you have a screened in porch/sun room w/ close neighbors this can be used to block the their view....I would sand, paint & distress the shutters in your favorite color. Then I would cut the roll away slats into 3rds then attach them horizontally to the backside of the shutters. Then I would loosely weave 6" muslin strips thru the slats then add any embellishments you want. For the tiles you could make them stepping stones for any part of your front or back yard. Hope this helps.Helpful Reply

Nicole Wilkinson on Jan 08, 2016I'll save some good pieces for whomever wants to come help me sand hundreds of fenceboards and build a rack of some sort. Also teach me some basics that are difficult to learn online. I need to build an entire raised garden for my veggies but not sure if wood is toxic for them or for compost bin.... Thank y'all so much for the responses! I'm a little old to learn such a wide subject but I'm sure excited to make a bunch of mistakes and hopefully end up with some special pieces!!!! Stay tuned!Helpful Reply
