I was asked to put a small collection of things in a small. local gallery.  I decide to create a few new things (new to me anyway).  One was this 14"x14" log cabin square made with reclaimed lath from our 1931 schoolhouse.

I started by cutting a square piece from the lath and then adding the pieces around it.  I glued the pieces to a piece of plywood, used the nail gun to secure each piece, and then cut the plywood to the correct size.

I painted to lath pieces and then heavily sanded them.

I added a frame with more lath and then stained all of it.  It is a fun, art piece--great on a wall, windowsill, or a small easel.
