DIY Wooden Photo Board

I've been looking to try some new things with product photography and I saw a lot of awesome photos using a wooden background, so I decided to make my own!

I wanted the project to be simple and easy for anyone to make.

The materials were:

- Precut 1x4 common boards

- Kreg Jig K4 with Kreg Screws

- Belt Sander

- Varathane Weathered Wood Accelerator (Color of your choice)

- Varathane wood stain

I started off by sanding the edges of the boards on the belt sander just to make the edges look a little rougher and less even.

I added a pocket hole on the end of each board on opposite sides of the board.

You screw the boards together.

Rough the boards using a portable belt sander, this will also help the stain and aging accelerator soak in easier.

Using a brush I heavily laid on coats of the aging accelerator and then I let the board sit overnight for it to dry.

I used a normal wood stain on the other side, but you could use a different shade of Weathered Wood Accelerator but you can choose whatever finish you want.

Now you've got a cool background, have fun with it and take some photos!
