Tasmanian oak feature wall behind tv. This wall was very bare and thought it needed something. As I take this photo now, I question why the TV isn't in the centre and I began where I did (tv was already on the wall). My walls are Masonite and you can see the joins, so I remember now that I just began at that join not even thinking the TV isn't centred. Oh well. The TV is always angled anyway to where we sit.
This wall became quite expensive as I never intended to do the whole wall...but just kept going cos I didn't like it in a small section.
Note some pieces are bowed so not all gaps look the same.
- Also added the piece of wood in the empty space of the cabinet.
- Painted the brass handles black with spray paint.
- Painted the walnut coloured cabinet top with door trim white paint.
Steps
Step 1
Worked out how long I wanted the oak on the wall. I left a gap at the top and bottom. This allowed for me to put a piece on wood lengthways on the skirting that I could rest the oak on then will all begin from the same height.
Step 2
Cut all oak pieces to the same length, as they do come all slightly different.
Step 3
Light sand. 2 coats of clear satin varnish.
Step 4
Nailed to wall using nail gun where there are studs.
Step 5
Spaced by the thickness of the wood.
