Craft from wood cuts

It is enough to have a detailed drawing and step by step follow all the instructions.

Material Features

The unique structure of the wood on the cut will give individuality to any product. The natural material for creativity is the cut surface of the tree at the end compartment of the trunk. It can be whole stumps, branches or layers of various thicknesses. The main feature of natural material for creativity is the presence on the cut of a unique pattern, which is formed by annual rings. You can use freshly chopped wood or subject the elements to high-temperature drying. Then characteristic cracks form on them.

For the manufacture of various products from saw cuts, a separate type of wood is required. Breeding is a very important point. Garden decor is best done from solid wood, such as oak, birch, beech. A high degree of density and low porosity guarantee a long life of the product. Pine, fir, larch will make an excellent panel, window frames, toys for a child, compositions for kindergarten or school.

How to properly prepare the material

Any work on the manufacture of crafts from cuts begins with the procurement of material. The technology is very simple, but requires certain skills in working with the tool and accuracy. To separate the wood elements, you can use an electric circular saw, a hand saw. Chain saws are best avoided because they cannot provide an even cut. Preparation of lumber takes place in several stages:

  1. Selection of wood. Depending on the type of crafts, a breed is selected and a thickness is formed. Use logs with overgrown branches, knots. This is not a marriage, but makes the picture unique.
  2. Material preparation. Logs are cleaned of bark and polished, mounted on supporting handrails or fixed in a convenient position.
  3. Cut it. Cutting occurs in the transverse direction. For dense and wide wood use a circular saw. Small branches are divided into rings using a hacksaw.
  4. Grinding.Cross cutting opens all pores of wood, making rings vulnerable. To extend the service life, they are impregnated with special solutions, polished.
  5. The manifestation of the texture. Use impregnations penetrating deep into the material. Compositions can be transparent, changing the shade, emphasizing the picture, tinting.
  6. Varnishing. In order to avoid the appearance of rot, the workpieces are treated with protective agents that form an additional layer on the saw surface.

This decor is more likely street, so the usual place for fixing birds will be ordinary logs.

We take two saw cuts, with a diameter of 20 and 14 cm, we fix to the base in an upright position. We prepare 4 circles of smaller diameter for the eyes and nail in the upper part of large circles. Saw 2 rings in half and make wings. The surface of circles for making a family is advised not to grind. With natural bark, the craft looks original.

It is better not to use oak logs, since it will be difficult to cut a recess at home.

Deciding on the size of the pot is simple. It is necessary to step back from the edge of the stump 5 cm and draw an even line around the circumference. You can proceed with the deepening. There are several ways to do this:

  • Drill a few holes in the middle of the stump and fill up with saltpeter. A few weeks later, a depression forms. Its size will be quite enough for planting flowers.
  • Cut a chainsaw. Make a cut along the perimeter of the circle. Loose pieces are removed using a chisel.
  • Make a fire on the surface of the bar and wait until the middle burns out. During operation, it is necessary to ensure that the fire is distributed evenly.
  • Make a few deep holes around the perimeter with a drill and knock out the core with a hoe or chisel.

Fill the assembled Christmas tree with epoxy resin and leave to dry. After drying, separate the mold and retaining rails, polish.

Panel of cuts

The original wall decoration can be made from one specific type of wood or combine several at once. There are no certain strict frameworks that must be followed when creating panels. In the drafting, you can use any ideas based on personal preferences.

It will not work to get a concrete pattern on the wall from cuts, but you can give the round elements a clear shape of a square, circle, abstract figure. You need to start making crafts from the frame. It is better to use natural materials or imitating them. Saws can be simply glued to the wall if they are small and light in weight, or screwed to the framing bars or onto a special base with screws.

After all the elements are laid out and fixed, the panels must be treated with drying oil and varnished. The gaps between the cuts are poured with a transparent gluing solution or painted over.

To hide the holes remaining after the self-tapping screws, it is necessary to drive wooden wedges into them. The remainder is cut flush and ground. The resulting spot will resemble the place of the cut knot.

  5. Using a burner we make an arbitrary ornament.

Design mirrors and photo frames

To create a frame with your own hands, you need to cut a lot of small wood blanks in advance. We lay the mirror on the plywood and draw a pencil around the contour. Increase the resulting circumference by 9 cm and mark with a line. Cut the base with a jigsaw and sand the edges. On the reverse side of the circle we attach a plywood rail for further fastening the mirror to the wall.

Now you can move on to decorating. We color the marked part along the edge of the circle in a color suitable for the interior and paste the cuts. Framing will look spectacular if you combine elements of different sizes. When the composition dries, we smear the internal field with liquid nails and glue the mirror.

Registration of paths in a summer cottage

The path from the saw cuts in the country will become a real designer miracle. It looks beautiful and original, it is durable and practical, despite the porosity of natural material. With good protection and proper care, it will last quite a long time.

Work on the manufacture of paths begins with the preparation of wood elements. Preference is best given to hardwoods such as oak, beech, ash. We saw the logs into pieces, 10-15 cm thick, of exactly the same thickness. Then we impregnate them with a protective compound. It can be copper sulfate, drying oil and other means.

Now we pass to the marking of the route. We drive in the pegs and pull the rope between them. We dig a shallow trench and line it with a film, we pour a layer of rubble on top of it. We ram everything and level it. If desired, you can make borders from timber, sheet iron, brick.

We fill the prepared trench with sand and fill it with water for better shrinkage. Wooden saw cuts are stacked in any form. The main thing is that they are as close to each other as possible. Voids can be covered with sand or earth and plant green grass.

We create furniture

Beautiful furniture for a country house or bath can be made from longitudinal and transverse saw cuts of large and small sizes. The easiest way is to make a table out of such material. First of all, you need to prepare a detailed drawing and choose a suitable blank for the countertop. It is easier to use a whole piece, and then make furniture of a suitable shape from it.

We start work with the preparation of the material - we remove the bark, eliminate irregularities, clean the slice with a metal brush and grinder. This stage directly affects the quality of the future product. Using furniture screws, we create the supporting part and fasten all the components with glue. If there are pores or chips, they must be filled with epoxy resin and eliminated. Then we set the edges along the edges of the surface, fill it with resin and leave it to dry. After a few days, we remove the excess parts and grind the surface of the table from saw cut.
