Scrap wood wall

That is a really great effect! Nice job.

That must of been a heck of a lot of hot glue stick, pretty cool texture.

Outstanding! It looks like a museum wall. Actually, it looks like a large piece of modern art in a museum.

Fantastic :)

Love the effect! I think I would loose my mind doing it!!! Great work.

This is certainly another unique wall. The various thicknesses adds an unusual touch to the wall. I am sure that I would not have had the patience to attach this many individual pieces onto a wall despite the nice effect it brings.

Well done. I am sure that this wall is the focal point of the room.

Great wall of China. What a view.

Nice job. What kind of time did it take from start to finish?

Damn, you’re a patient guy….

Looks awesome though. Is this your place, or was this a commission?

-- It seem's I just make scrap wood and saw dust most of the time !

Thanks!

I don’t know how long it took to make it, but it was many hours over a period of two weeks. I think there are about 1100 pieces, so it is definitely a tedious task. It is our own place, so I was not too concerned about how long it took. The pieces vary in height so it is a bit of a puzzle. If I had to do it again, I would make sure they all have the same height.

That’s a very stylish wall. This room could be in a decorating magazine. Good job.

Is that what you do to keep from being board in the bedroom?

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

Awesome looking wall but I wouldn’t want to be the cleaning lady!

That is really something ..!

You know …I hope you have better hot melt glue than me ….Cause most of my hot melt glue projects …seem to disassociate themselves after awhile ….

I guess what i am saying is I would not trust sleeping under a wall madewith or constructed with hot melt glue….

I am sure you used much better hot melt than me ..

good luck

Very cool. I will do this in one of the room at my lake place. On your end grain wall you mentioned you nailed the pieces in. If yu did another wall would you glue or nail the pieces?

Thanks.

Cool indeed!

i have no interest in doing this but the end result is stunning

I’m in the middle of building myself a bedroom on the end of our house. I’ve been trying to figure out something inexpensive that I could do to make the room different than just walls of sheetrock. I like F.L.Wright’s concepts of putting several textures and materials in the same room, so I’ve been trying to figure out how to do that. I found this project by stumbling onto it today, and I really like your concept. One idea I have had is to use log cut offs, glueing them to the wall with tile adhesive. Thanks for the idea of using the scrap wood, I think it is a neat concept and looks great,
