The Making of Faerie Doors

Over the weekend we were able to drop into Freund's Building Supply and they again this year allowed us to go and pick out wood pieces from their sawdust pile for more faerie doors. They used to run a sawmill out in their field and all of this wood has been left to weather and develop awesome characteristics over the years. I can't wait to start these.

Faerie Doors

Well thank you to Freund's Building Supplies for allowing us to go dig through their weathered forgotten wood in the 'back forty'. I tried my best to use the Dremel but alas my hands weren't meant to use power tools :(  So thank goodness for my wonderful hubby :)  We managed to trace out a few doors and get them cut. After lots of sanding the next step was to stain. So the pictures you see below are from the design/concept stage all the way the completed dried second coat of stain. The doors are measuring approximately 6" x 3.5". Wood widths are varying depending on the type of wood. I am trying to have them cut so all the character of the wood remains.
