Title: First attempt at a display board
Post by: moparthug on January 21, 2018, 04:10:23 PM

For my first time building one of these, I'm quite pleased with the results. For all of you pros, I'd love to see some of your display boards and shadow boxes.

Nice! Making display boards is on my to-do list for this spring, so I too would be interested in hearing any advice from those who have done them before.

Thin high tensile wire pushed through holes drilled in the board, on the back side small washers go over the wire before it's twisted, then a chunk of green felt is glued down so the twisted wire ends don't scratch whatever wall it's hung on.
