I have a project in mind for an upcoming craft fair and I need advice on how to apply photos to wood, preferably. the gray reclaimed barnwood with lots of ridges.
Of course I realize mod podge is an option but was hoping for a more professional finish.
Another option was applying burlap to the wood then photo - burlap as a matting. But I think straight on the wood will be best
Suggestions?
