WOW! This is so beautiful! I am building out my 1988 chevy and I have so many pieces of miscut wood and I am trying to figure out what to do with all the mis cut pieces haha. I want to make the mistakes into something beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration!
This is a neat idea! I think I prefer the lake design.... You could make a nice serving/tea tray with a similar design, it would just need to be a bit smaller scale and probably have all the pieces be the same height.
I love your videos and have been a subscriber for a while. I was pleasantly surprised to see you pop up in the virtual BYU men’s choir video. Super cool to have stumbled across a fellow alum. I vote for the lake, but it is a close call. They are both amazing.
Look at some examples online and figure out what look you want. Then just pick the locations of your peaks and start laying it out from the top down to the base. Everything else is just filled in.
@@EveningWoodworker Nice :) I ended up making just lines instead of mountains (for this first try) and it took me 7 hours ...what a mess. Just have to stain it and add hangers. Yay.
This is a great idea, I like it a lot. Especially the varying thickness to give a 3D aspect to it. How many different stain colors did you use in the mountains? It looks like 3 or maybe 4? (Not including the white snow cap). Thanks. My fave was the trees
Start with the white mountaintops, once those are locked in place, then cut everything to fit those. I just cut a bunch of slats first. Once they're all cut, then stain the lower pieces.
The nails are usually overkill. CA glue dries fast so it's easy to lock down pieces in position. Everything then gets added around that. Even wood glue will be fine if you press it down and just don't flip anything over until it's dry
You used just pine? How cool. I've seen some that use various woods, no stain. I like yours better - finished pine looks great, and much less expensive.
It still looks essentially the same. It helps to start out with wood that's mostly dry, but for the 1/8" stuff i stained the plywood dark behind it so any gaps wouldn't stand out.
I haven't tested starbond in a structural application where it is holding a lot of weight, but in this situation, it's not carrying much weight at all so it should be fine. You can also do a combination of both... starbond on either end and yellow glue in the middle.
My friend this is one of the neatest wood projects I have seen! Your pics are absolutely beautiful!! What an awesome idea and what great results from your amazing skill. I am very impressed to put it lightly. I was looking for a woodworking project and have watched 100 or more YT videos looking for the right idea. After seeing how amazing your pics look I have got to try this one. I hope mine turns out just a fraction as good as yours did. Truly awesome video and thank you for sharing!! I am going to like and subscribe as soon as I finish this comment. I hope that helps you out. GOD bless, my friend!!.. :))…..
I think it was kona, carrington, and early American, but the blue parts were a combination of blue, gray, and white. Just get some small jars and see what you like!
I wish you had given some detail on how you cut such small angled pieces. It's super dangerous to do this on the miter saw typically, unless you have hold down sticks, zero clearance fence/throatplate, sandpaper etc. And on the table saw it would require a miter sled...
Sorry I didn't go into much detail on that. For the small pieces I cut off the tip of a much longer board on the miter saw that I could safely hold, or i used a scroll saw or a sander. The lake design though didn't require any extra tools to cut more complex tiny pieces. Just cut off the top of a long board
My son and I both liked the trees better! I like the contrast with the sky. The lake mirrors the sky. Very cool build!
Thanks! I may have to do one now with both!
Rocked it. The tree version for sure.
This video just randomly popped up into my feed and I gotta say, I love both! Can't wait to get into the shop to make a few of these for my family :)
They're fun and not too hard to do!
GREAT projects Jared. I like that you used different thickness pieces. I'm sure it looke better in person than on the screen! !! !!!
Thanks! I definitely think it looks better in person too!
They are both great. The lake one is my choice, but the one with the trees is beautiful also.
The trees were a great touch man!
WOW! This is so beautiful! I am building out my 1988 chevy and I have so many pieces of miscut wood and I am trying to figure out what to do with all the mis cut pieces haha. I want to make the mistakes into something beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration!
Very nice job and creativity without using many tools. I'll have to try that glue, looks pretty slick!
You should build one too! It's fun!
This is a neat idea! I think I prefer the lake design.... You could make a nice serving/tea tray with a similar design, it would just need to be a bit smaller scale and probably have all the pieces be the same height.
Yeah that would look sweet as a tray as long as you seal it somehow!
I love your videos and have been a subscriber for a while. I was pleasantly surprised to see you pop up in the virtual BYU men’s choir video. Super cool to have stumbled across a fellow alum. I vote for the lake, but it is a close call. They are both amazing.
Hey thanks for noticing that too! Men's chorus was a major part of my life... glad to hear of other alumni!
@@EveningWoodworker nice!!! Fellow BYU alumn here going to give this a try!
These are amazing! The little touches you added made them both exceptional.
Thank you!
I think I just found my new favorite channel!
Thanks! Welcome aboard!
Love the trees. I would even go as far as putting trees in front for a3D look
Great idea! Maybe for the next one...
I really like the way these turned out I really want to make one now🤘
You should! They're not that difficult
I like the trees. Both are badass though!
Nice, these turned out really nicely.
Thanks!
Looks great.. I want to try to do these.. love the design..
Excellent build!
I love this so much I’m trying to build it now. Could you give me the dimensions of the trees? I’m having a hard time seeing them in the video 😊
How do you go aboutr designing the design and figuring out how to cut the pieces? It's overwhelming to me but wanting to make one for my office.
Look at some examples online and figure out what look you want. Then just pick the locations of your peaks and start laying it out from the top down to the base. Everything else is just filled in.

My fave was the trees
Thanks! There are three stains on the mountains, and the sky is a mix of blue, white, and black.
Great work! How did you figure out the length for each strip on the mountains? That’s the part that gives me the most anxiety 😁
Start with the white mountaintops, once those are locked in place, then cut everything to fit those. I just cut a bunch of slats first. Once they're all cut, then stain the lower pieces.
Did I miss it? How do you get the angles for and measurements for each cut???
All the angles are 45s and 90s. For the dimensions, it's all just making it fit whatever design you come up with. Each piece is 1.5" wide.
Do u sell such amazing creations? Would love to buy this for my living room😍 love mountains
Unfortunately no, I build stuff on the side for family and friends but that's all I have time for right now. I'm glad you like it!
Watching all kinds of videos on this process and most use glue and nails. Is the brand of glue you used the key in not needing to also nail?
The nails are usually overkill. CA glue dries fast so it's easy to lock down pieces in position. Everything then gets added around that. Even wood glue will be fine if you press it down and just don't flip anything over until it's dry
Great project! How long would you say it took from start to finish?
You used just pine? How cool. I've seen some that use various woods, no stain. I like yours better - finished pine looks great, and much less expensive.
There's a lot you can do with just pine and stains, it's definitely the cheaper option!
Curious to know how it looks a few months later. Did you see a lot of wood movement?
It still looks essentially the same. It helps to start out with wood that's mostly dry, but for the 1/8" stuff i stained the plywood dark behind it so any gaps wouldn't stand out.
How did you decide on the angle of the cuts and what angle did you decide on? Great project!!
All of the angles are either 45 or 90. It makes things much easier that way!
The trees give it a pop.
I like them both. Great job! I was wondering about the Starbond - do you know if it will hold the pieces on long term, like the wood glue will?
I haven't tested starbond in a structural application where it is holding a lot of weight, but in this situation, it's not carrying much weight at all so it should be fine. You can also do a combination of both... starbond on either end and yellow glue in the middle.
I like the trees. May I ask what are the angles?
All of the angles are 45 degrees with a few 90 degrees
Beautiful! How wide are the wood strips? 1 inch?
They are the thickness of a 2x4, so about 1 1/2"

Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words. Best of luck on your project!
You are such an inspiration! Would love to do this for my channel someday!
Thanks! You should do one... They're not too hard
Hello. I probably missed it in the video, but what angle did you cut the pieces?
All of them are cut at either 45 degrees or 90
Can you please tell what color of stains you used?
I think it was kona, carrington, and early American, but the blue parts were a combination of blue, gray, and white. Just get some small jars and see what you like!
I wish you had given some detail on how you cut such small angled pieces. It's super dangerous to do this on the miter saw typically, unless you have hold down sticks, zero clearance fence/throatplate, sandpaper etc. And on the table saw it would require a miter sled...

I got to go with the trees...
Thickness for the trees? Do you recall the angle? 45?!
I think the trees were 1/2" thick and every angle is 90 or 45.
Both
30 degree cuts?
All the cuts are 45 degrees
I have searched everywhere for this. I am not a woodworker but can I pay you to make one for me? Please respond. Thank you!
I'm glad you like it, however, I'm not doing commissions right now. You might be able to find someone on etsy though.
The trees
Lake is cleaner. The trees “pop” too much. Maybe a lighter green stain though and I would change my mind. Well done.
Good observation! Unless of course someone wants the trees to pop!
@@EveningWoodworker fair point
I love the trees. Which stain did you use for the green? Or is it paint?
Trees dawg trees
