Walnut.........its gorgeous. I really cant say enough about how beautiful and rustic it is.

diy fabric pin board for the office giveaway from my etsy shop!
I am working on hanging the art in the office/living room and just finished a push pin board for the office area. Ill wait to show more photos until I hang the rest of the art - its looking a little lonely as is ...
For now, here is how I did it!
1. Take an old frame (I found my at Goodwill for $10), sand it to remove the glossy finish
2. After wiping down, prime and then spray paint - I wait about 45 minutes between coats (make sure to use several light strokes so the paint doesnt run!)
3. Cut the back piece to fit the frame - I used the back of a large poster board that I had left over from another project
4. Apply cork - I used cork contact paper with a sticky back (you may want to use two layers if your backing wont allow pins in)
5. Wrap fabric, pull tight and staple with a staple gun
6. Secure the cork to the frame (I used nails - make sure they arent too long so they dont go through!)
Cost breakdown:
Frame $10, Cork $10, Fabric $7, Paint $7 = $34
I was back at Goodwill today and found a cork board that would of replaced the backing and cork for $3 :( I guess you cant catch every great deal ...
Im looking forward to hanging the rest of the art - I found a cheap solution for frames that is good for renters ... and anyone who wants frames on the cheap! Check back soon!

Sticking Board
When you have to work small in section pieces with molding, plow and rebate planes, may be convenient to use a proper board which helps to keep them steady during planing. It simply consists of a leveled board , at least 150 cm long and with section of about 10 x2, 5 cm. On its surface can be glued a stright rail (section 4x2, 5 cm). 
It is important that the side of the rail is square with the backing surface of the piece. I used some screws inserted at the end of the board; they have the task of stopping the piece during processing. They can be tightened and loosened to allow to avoid the piece escapes from board. If the piece is square it will be sufficient. However, it is convenient to work pieces longer than the final measure to use the edges or parts that will be discarded (cheek of a tenon in the pic), to ensure all through thin nails. The table is stopped by dogs and lateral vice.
