Siding.....

I didn't know what I would use for the siding on the stable. I was rummaging around in the garage and lo and behold, I found this old maple veneer that my DBF bought many years ago for use on a guitar. He said I could have it to use. The price sticker was still on it--$3.45 for a very large piece!!!! It was very dried out and brittle, but with lots and lots of glue, I managed to make it all stick to the outside of the stable.

Here you can see what I used as weights to hold the strips down while the glue dried.

I could tear the veneer into strips very easily, so this is how I used it. It gave it the "old barn" look I was aiming for.

This is the front of the barn with the siding painted. Barn red, of course!

I will show more on my next post.....I don't want to bore you to death with all the pictures I took. lol

'Til next time, Love ya, Jean
