Making a picture frame from old fencing

Well here's another use for recycling old fence parts.

I needed a rustic looking frame for a painting that I had finished.

The pickets were too short so I used the cross piece

that the pickets were attached too.

Here they are in there unfinished glory.

 After scraping and sanding most of the paint off the boards

my dad made the frame for me.

I then stained and added poly.

Here's the finished work.

Here's a close up showing how rustic it looks.

I thought the paint showing through

 added to the look of age.

One final view.

I hope the scripture will speak to you.

May the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in everyway.

The Lord be with all of you. 

2 Thessalonians 3:16
