Wooden Jack -O- Lantern
Hey Everyone!
Taking a break from the home updates to give you a fun video to enjoy.
I got to a point where I'm no longer excited about painting, but really, who is excited about painting?? But when you finish a big project, and it looks amazing, it gives me a bit more motivation to keep painting.
BUT, I had to take a break. So since fall/Halloween is my favorite time of the year, I decided to make you some wooden pumpkins. I've seen these all over the internet and always wanted to make my own. So I did and they turned out amazing!
I used leftover cedar fence boards for this. One that is 6 inches wide and I found a 4 inch board. You can use boards that are all the same size, but I wanted a bit of a overhang for the top and bottom. So instead of having to cut down a board, I just used the 4 inch for the sides. If you don't have any scrap boards, you can pick these boards up at your local home store for less than $4. (both sizes)
I will have a cut list below for you if you would like to make this. As for the paint. After I burned the wood, I was going to leave them like that, but decided to add paint. The 8in was a combination of white & orange mix (acrylic paint) but it was a bit too light in color, so I ran the torch back over the paint and it gave it a greenish blue tint along with the white/orange. Looked pretty cool, so I left it. The 10in pumpkin, I dry lightly brushed acrylic orange, trying not to cover the burn marks. The end result looks great. And the last 12in, I left it Shou Sugi Ban, because I loved the look. No need to sand this project especially if you burn it. The burning process will get rid of any jagged splinters. Seal your project with weather resistant sealant and VIOLA, you're done!
I hope you enjoyed this quick video. I'll try to do another in a few weeks. In the meantime, follow me on Instagram for behind the scene stuff. See the progress of our house updates! (painting)
