Wood Blocks

 
My wonderful husband bought me this saw for Christmas.
 No having to go outside to cut, YAY!



I bought these wood slats awhile ago at Home Depot. (Very cheap, I'm thinking like $2 a piece or under)
I used my awesome new saw to cut them into blocks. All by myself! LOL 




I used my cricut with my sure cuts a lot program and cut out some words and pictures on sticky vinyl. 
*You can no longer use Sure Cuts A Lot program with the cricut. The older version SCAL1 & SCAL2 will continue to work with the cricut if you 
1. Already own the SCAL.
2. Do NOT update SCAL to SCAL3 (Which is free if you already own it)
3. Do NOT update your firmware for cricut.


I also used my very favorite Antique Top Coat along with paints and my sanding block.
(Bought this antique top coat with country burgundy paint a LOOONG time ago for $2 from Marcs. Wish I had bought ALL they had. LOVE this stuff.)
But a regular stain of any color works just as nice.

Not finished yet, but almost. Have to sand the heart and apply the antique top coat. But I love making these and how they look.
