Relax, Soak, Enjoy
We needed a place to hang towels by the hot tub. I saw a palette on the side of my house and decided it would be perfect. I used the jigsaw to saw off what I needed. I then painted the words--I freehand these mostly because I don't want to take the time to do anything else. When you are painting letters and numbers it is much easier if the paintbrush is always going in a downward motion--a little different from writing.
I loved the patina from the wax on the spool top so I used it again. I added some hooks where the wood supports were and screwed the whole thing into the side of the house. The entire project took maybe a half hour.
