Making a Driftwood Crate from a Seaside Find
Usually my treasures come from the side of the road
but this one comes form the side of the sea.
Knowing how much I love old wood, my youngest daughter came home from the beach the other day with a very weathered piece of redwood that she found on the beach.
She just knew I'd like it!
And I sure did!
I decided to create a project with the wood so I cut the wood into pieces and screwed them together.
The wood was beautifully weathered!
I added a piece as a bottom and matched the color with paint.
When the box was put together I stenciled on the word "port" and then heavily sanded it to distress the word.
"Port" because it was found by the sea.
I ended up with a simple but beautiful box for flowers that reminds me of my thoughtful youngest daughter.
She sure knows what her Mom likes!
