Handsaw ReStore Find

I have walked past the bucket of handsaws at my ReStore probably 50 times wondering what I could do with one of them.  Finally, I picked up a few and decided to take them home and wait for the inspiration.  It hit last week and I was really excited with the results.


I decided to use stencils and then spray painted them…adding “Welcome”



or a family name.

After spray painting the letters on, I used a piece of ScotchBrite to distress them a bit.  The rust from the saw turned the letters a bit…rusty.  It’s not easy to see in this picture but the “WIL” has been “rusted” and the other letters haven’t been…yet.
I then just clear coated them to seal them up and they were good to go.  Both of these are for gifts.  I can’t wait to make one for my front porch.

 These are two of the finished products.



 

These were only $2 each at my ReStore and I think they make a really nice gift.  I can’t wait to start my next ReStore project.
