Eco-style is gaining more and more popularity, attracting lovers of everything natural and at the same time unusual. Such a breakthrough in modern design can be considered both unexpected and self-evident. For example, finishing with saw cut wood of the interior has an attractive power, allows the owner of the home to feel the atmosphere of wildlife.
Material advantages
Saw cuts are flat, transversely divided plates, each of which has its own unique pattern. On the cut, annual lines are clearly visible, enclosed in rings and determining the age of the tree. All of them are unique in their own way, and the finished decoration of them looks stylish and even very modern.
Suitable for making sectionsnot only trunks, but also branches of various diameters. From round cuts of wood, the surface of the floor and walls is finished. In work, such material is similar to ceramic tiles, but laid out much easier. Here you do not need to pay too much attention to the seams, it is enough to ensure that voids do not form. The numerous advantages of the material include:
- durability;
- high aesthetics and beauty;
- sustainable;
- availability;

- the presence of thermal insulation properties;
- minor financial outlay;
- personality;
- variety of shapes, shades and sizes;

With proper processing of wood, the finish will last a long time, will not be constantly exposed to mechanical damage, moisture and insect pests. Tree species usually choose the following: fir, birch, oak, pine, ash, spruce. You can use other types, it does not matter.
Multifaceted Art
Wooden blanks can be used both as independent elements and in compositions. They can serve as a finishing material, as well as become furniture parts. Due to the different thickness and diameter of the plates, interesting crafts are obtained from them. Wood cuts are used to make accessories, decorations, panels, paintings, wall clocks, kitchen utensils, countertops, original figurines for a children's room. Various fragmentary decorationsare laid out taking into account the general concept of the interior. If, for example, the panel looks alien, then you need to frame it. Better yet, add several wooden elements made in the same style to the design of the room.
Using wood cuts for decoration is as original as it is impressive. You can create a kind of interior without the participation of employees. Everyone can do it, and in this way you will get deep satisfaction from the inspiration of your own fantasies.
The most popular trend in this type of design is the "backward wall" or woodpile effect. It looks like real logs are laid in any area of the room. In this technique, part of the surface is decorated or completely one wall. This decor next to the fireplace will look especially beautiful.
Preparatory work
It is important to think over the laying order and the design idea itself in advance. Wood cuts in the interior are most in harmony with eco-style, hunting or rural areas. However, if you correctly combine them with the decoration of the remaining walls, furniture, colors, you can create a single ensemble of space. For example, decor at the head of the bed and a few wooden accessories will perfectly fit into any style.
Walls for laying slabs must be perfectly even. Therefore, they should be prepared in advance. Wood cuts for decor need to be sanded, impregnated with a flame retardant or antiseptic. Whether or not to free them from the bark depends on the design idea.
Wall layout
To work, you will need the wooden blanks themselves, glue, varnish and stain (or paint). If you plan to partially lay out the wall, then you need to highlight the contour of the finish. The elements are sequentially fixed on the base, leaving gaps in case the wood swells due to an increase in humidity in the room. Their thickness does not matter, curvature, natural flaws and uneven surfaces are welcome in this technique.
The finished finish should still be sanded, impregnated with a special agent to protect against pests. And to give the effect of completeness and aesthetic appearance, you need to apply a layer of stain and varnish the wall, or you can paint it.
Glue should be of high quality, with enhanced fixing properties, so that it can hold the dies well. For maximum fixation, the walls are cleaned of foreign small grains and dust.
Floor of round dice
Finishing the floor compared to the wall requires a more professional approach. Irregularities and roughness are unacceptable here, because on this surface you will have to move and place pieces of furniture and other necessary attributes on it. Only tree trunks are used in the manufacture of plates. It is necessary to choose only solid plant species, since the wood must be of high quality. Given the heavy load, the sections are made strong and thick. To make the floor from wood cuts durable and attractive, you need to be guided by the following rules when working:
- Fixingthe means must necessarily be a cement mortar with the addition of glue. You can purchase a special tool at the hardware store.
- It is necessary to level the base and pre-lay the elements on a separate section of the floor to see how even the surface will be, all the dies should be adjusted to the same plane.
- The work surface is polished to a smooth state, during the laying process it will have to be constantly adjusted.
- When laying wooden blanks, it is important to avoid drops and irregularities, constantly monitor the level.
- The floor is impregnated with insect and fungus repellents, then stained and varnished.
- You can apply bulk technology. True, it will be almost impossible to dismantle such a manual masterpiece. The gaps between the slices in this case are filled with a transparent composition.
Panel
A panel of wood cuts is a kind of abstraction made from blanks with different shades, sizes and textures. This is not just a decoration, it can be called a kind of painting, a masterpiece with a clearly defined focus.
It is desirable that it be made of uncleaned material, which is characterized by natural defects - the presence of knots, cracks. The product will turn out more expressive if the bark is left on it. Such a composition requires additional elements in the form of twigs, pieces of wood or stumps.
Wood cuts for decoration in this case are processed only with thethe side that will be attached to the base. You must immediately decide on the configuration of the picture, create a sketch. The boundaries of the substrate on which the plates are fixed can also serve as the contours of the future abstraction. The finished work is often framed, but this is the case if it has regular, even shapes. Then the panel is attached to the wall. When choosing an option with a border, it must be made neutral.
Table
The original table made of cut wood is made both from solid material and using modules. It is necessary to proceed from what raw materials are available, and from financial possibilities. Whatever material is chosen, the product will be reliable and durable.
For the manufacture of a massive piece of kitchen furniture, the saw cut of wood must be done in a horizontal direction. So the countertop will turn out solid and the table will look more colorful. If there are cracks on it, they are filled with epoxy. Such a tool is transparent or tinted. As legs, you can choose stumps with intricate shapes and fix them on the underside of the tabletop. The finished attribute is processed using the technology described above.
Table top made of cut wood for a coffee table is created either on a rectangular base or from a single vertical frame. The first option uses mixed media. The plates are distributed over a solid basis, as when creating a panel. Meanwhile, the surface of the table should be adjusted and polished to a perfectstatus.
Stools
Modular elements are used for the manufacture of stools. These are almost the same cuts that are used when decorating walls, but larger in size. The stool is a metal frame with a transverse layer of wood. The parameters of the last material should be sufficient so that you can sit freely on a wooden frame. Such products can be very different in design and type of auxiliary materials. It would be nice to make blanks for stools from tree trunks with wavy contours. Products from them are very beautiful.
Drawings
Painting on wood is a new trend in art, reflecting a person's craving for wildlife. The drawings on the saw cuts of a tree, made by creative personalities, seem to come to life. If you are not deprived of such a gift, then try yourself in this art form.
To work, you need to prepare: medium-sized saw cuts, sandpaper and sticky paper, brushes, acrylic paints, varnish and a primer.
First, the surface is leveled and well polished, after which it is covered with a primer. The edges of the plate must first be protected with adhesive paper, so that in the end the work is enclosed in a natural, wooden frame. When the first layer dries, the product should be applied again. An acrylic primer is used to create a white background. After the surface dries, you can proceed toart. The contours of the drawing are applied with a simple pencil, then everything is painted with colored paints and fixed with varnish.
