What can you do with a cracked wooden board? Don’t throw it away in a hurry, and don’t use it as firewood. After simple processing, it can become more textured. You only need to prepare transparent resin, fluorescent pigment powder, tape, and the most basic carpentry tools, and you can start playing with wood to give the broken board a gem-like texture.
As you can see, this is a wooden board with long cracks, and the edges are not neat. According to the standards of desktop or laminate, it is not qualified.
Use fabric tape or packing tape to tape the bottom of the crack.
Mix the prepared transparent resin and powdered fluorescent pigments thoroughly. The proportions are based on personal preference, and the color depth will have different flavors.
Pour the mixed fluorescent resin into the gap, or even use cardboard and tape to create additional three-dimensional space.
Wait until the fluorescent resin is completely dry and then remove the tape. The time required depends on the temperature and climate of different places, about three to five days. At this time, the resin and the wood board are tightly combined and reach a state that is difficult to disassemble.
The next steps are the same as most woodworking products. They need to be sanded, modified, and oiled to make the board smooth and touchable, prevent moisture from entering, and also highlight the beauty of the natural grain of the wood.
The processed wooden boards can be made into furniture such as desktops and cabinets. Designer Mat Brown uses them as shelves for storage.
When the light is bright, you can see the transparent texture of the resin.
In a dark environment, the resin added with fluorescent pigments emits crystal light, just like a scene in a science fiction movie. The cold blue light gives people a sense of technology, which creates a great contrast with the simple and natural wood. contrast.
