To make the base I used 1/2-inch plywood, I would recommend this thickness so the weight of the wood does not warp the base. You keep repeating the cuts until you have enough pieces to cover the base you plan to use. The third cut is back to 30 degrees on the alternate side of the drop saw and the fourth back to “0”. To cut the second piece you set the drop saw back to “0” line the cut up with a straight end as shown in the picture below and make your cut. To cut my pieces I used a drop saw set at 30 degrees to cut the first piece. I found it is easier to sand it now rather than all the smaller pieces later which is very time-consuming. To solve this issue I cut the fence post down to 3×3 which I thought would work better.īefore I cut all the pieces of wood I sanded all the sides using 120 grit sanding discs on an orbital sander. But after I had cut a few pieces I realized that the wall hanging would be too heavy to hang on our sheetrock walls.

My original idea for this project was to use a 4 x 4 fencing post and cut the wood at a 30-degree angle.

If I had the time I would have done Shou sugi ban on the pieces because they would have turned out amazing with all this texture and wood grain. Because of this, my pieces of wood had a wide variety of textures and patterns which added to the design.

The fence post I used looked like it had been made by glueing lots of pieces of wood together. The great thing about this 3D wooden wall art is that it can be hung either horizontally or vertically. More about IBC is at the bottom of this post. I sit and look at it at times and the design messes with your eyes. This was a fairly straightforward project, but the results are mind-blowing “literally”. This month’s challenge was “Hang her up” which is down to interpretation, so I made 3D wooden wall art using a 4×4 fencing post. This week’s post is our next challenge for our international blogger group.
