I started a new project (aside from house upkeep and car issues)
My bookcase in my room doesn't have doors and I want doors. Solution - make them.
I got a half sheet of thin plywood, cut lengthwise in half. Stencil a design on the boards and decide what to do after that.
Final stencil - large design on the outside, smaller on the inside and NOT centered. Trim also picked out
I had the idea to drill out the solid circles in the pattern. I then took a dremel and finished the edges of each drilled hole.
Next came the decision whether to drill out the lines down a level in the plywood or wood-burn the design along with the drilled holes. A test showed that the wood-burning is the way to go.
So, now comes the LONG part of the project - wood burning the design
Then will come the sanding and staining
Then the trim work
Then hanging them (already have the hardware purchased)
