I feel in love with this wood panel art when I found out it was pretty simple and cheap to make! Ideas are already forming, this is so versatile because you can use this wood cutting technique to make many other home decorations.

Supplies:

8×10 wood panel
Various wood veneers (maple, pine, cherry or oak)
White glue
Paintbrush
Scissors a
Pencil
Sand paper no. 250

Directions:

1. Decide what image you want to create
2. Take the wood veneer and draw out your shapes – or you can just start cutting.
(keep in mind the wood veneer cuts very well – but you need to be aware of the wood grain – it can break off easily – not to worry you can attach them together when you glue it down)
3. Once you cut out your shapes start gluing – put glue on the wood panel in the spot you want the shape to be – then put glue on top of the cut out shape. You need to be very generous with the glue – if you don’t put enough glue it will curl as it dries.
4. Keep doing step one and two till you get the desired effect and once your image is done brush the white glue over the entire surface and let it stand to dry.
