Making a hardwood floor

Here is a progression of pictures showing how I created a hard wood floor for a work with a tall chair and a tall stack of cakes.

  1. To create the floor I used craft sticks with the rounded ends trimmed which were then glued to a piece of MDF board. I also use these same craft sticks to stir and mix paint.

  2. I then painted the surface with black paint making sure to work paint into the crevasses between the planks.

  3. After the paint was dry I sanded the surface leaving a little bit of paint for visual texture.

  4. The final image shows the finished work with the floor in place.
