Scrap wood wall Scrap wood wall No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

Here is my second scrap wood wall. This one is made from various lengths of 2×4s ripped in thicknesses from 1/4 to 1in. I put all the pieces through the thickness planer to get one smooth side and gave them a walnut stain. The pieces were then randomly attached to the wall with hot-melt glue. The project was not much fun to do, but I like the result ;)

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.

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?

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.

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
