This build was commissioned by a friend from church, Karen. She sent the measurements, such as the height she wanted it, and the length and width of the top. The only other specifications was, it needed to look nice, and be inexpensive. Alrighty then!
So, that word inexpensive led me to building grade materials....pine boards. That was fine by me, because that's mostly what I use anyway. Pine is inexpensive, readily available, and can be made to look really nice. Especially for indoor projects.
I'll admit it, I had a pallet boards left over after the 'Sun' project, and decided to make this piano art to hang over my piano.
For this project, I joined the boards after squaring the edges up, by gluing them. I did it this way because I wanted it to hang as flat against the wall as possible. I attached the black keys with brad nails.
I think it turned out pretty good for something that didn't take much time at all. By the way, I used the board with the knot hole on purpose. At the time, I thought it added character. ha!
This is a project for a friend. She asked me to make her a sun with pallet wood, providing me with an example she got from Pinterest. She already had a few pallets at her house, and I went by and got them.
First, I cut the boards in these 'pie piece' shapes, and fit them together. For the circle part, I used some scrap plywood I had laying around.
