Driftwood-From Finding to Finishing @JDub-Life

WHERE TO FIND DRIFTWOOD
HOW TO CLEAN AND FINISH DRIFTWOOD

I really love the outdoors. I love being near the lake, I love being near a beach, and I love being in the mountains...I mean who doesn’t right.

 I also love woodworking, so it just makes sense to use the lumber that nature has provided for me for free. Whether it’s a functional piece, wall art or something to just admire, working with Driftwood can be very rewarding.

I thought it would be great to capture the whole process from the time I’m finding a piece of Driftwood to the time I actually complete the project, so I hope you enjoy this video.

Here is PART 2 of this series:

Driftwood Tutorial- Creating a Rustic...

I teamed up with my son and he provided the background music, so I’m pretty proud of that as well .

there are some fantastic YouTube channels regarding DIY driftwood projects, Driftwood, art, and other creative, woodworking ideas.

I hope you find this video, useful and entertaining check out my channel and a few of the other videos. Would love to have you subscribe and give me a thumbs up!!



STEPS TAKEN in this project:

1. Metal and course nylon brushes. I bought these at Harbor Freight

2. Sanding- I started with 40 grit which really removes the rough stuff. I gradually work to 120, 180, 220, 320.

3. Sealing- this was the step I remembered to get on the video using the finishing paste wax product from minwax.

4. Hope this helps
