Make a Rustic Old Box using a New Fence Board
A couple of months ago I aged a new fence board to put as a shelf under an old window. You can see that post
HERE. I loved the idea of using
Apple Cider Vinegar and Steel Wool to make a brand new board look old. This time I wanted to make a box for my island.
I was at Lowe's and found a regular fence board. This one had bad sides, which I'm sure wouldn't make someone who was building a fence happy, but it made me happy.
I put on my gloves (apple cider vinegar is pretty smelly!) and applied the vinegar with steel wool. The first coat didn't go on that great and I had little black spots all over the board. I just kept applying more coats until I got the grey/worn look that I wanted. (I waited about an hour between coats of the vinegar.)
I then cut the boards to make a box. To make it easy, I made it as wide as the fence board is so I didn't have to cut the bottom at all. The dimensions are 16" long by 5 1/4" wide. My husband who loves woodworking wanted to make the box perfect, but that's not the look I was going for. :) Anyway, he did glue the sides and used his finish nailer to hold everything together. He clamped it up overnight and it was good to go.
On the ends where I had made my cuts, I needed to rough it up a little, then apply more of the vinegar.
I love that the edges are all very rough looking. I put the glass jars that came with a flatware caddy I already had and put some flowers in each jar.
Thanks so much for visiting!
