Sanderson / Tolkien Barn Door

[SirCasey]

Hi all,

 

My wife and I made a barn door with a woodburned design of Brandon Sanderson's Knight's Radiant Immortal Words that now separates our front entrance room that we use as a dining room into the living room, and thought you guys might appreciate it.

 

View from the living room:

On the other side, we have Tolkien's "Speak Friend and Enter" in Elvish with the White Tree of Gondor and Celtic knotwork:

The wood we used is called Blue Pine, which we got at a Home Depot. I will be putting a clear coat varnish on it, just want to make sure we don't see any woodburning mistakes to sand out and redo.

 

The door weighs about 50 pounds.

 

Feel free to ask questions about it, but if you'd like to read more about the process of how we made it, please visit my wife's blog post about it!

@SirCasey the stormlight print is amazing! I'm making a lifting platform for my homegym and would love to have that on it. Is there somewhere I can get/buy that print from?

Just a heads up, this thread has been inactive for Four years, the shard doesn't like that happening.

Nothing against you, just for future reference.
