Hi again Laura and thanks for that answer. Since then however I've been searching for a wood-wood spreadable epoxy I can tint but can't find anything, even any suggestions on the web. Could you possibly find out exactly what they used? The whole project is ready to mount - very exciting but am now well...."unglued'
Many thanks in advance,
Heather Donald

hello - this is actually end pieces of logs that have been cut to fit and then attached to the wall. the wall was painted dark and then the logs we're secured. not eaxctly sure how they were secured but can check w/ the contractor if you'd like further details. there is also a finished product similar to this that can be purchased that i saw at Decorex show in London a few years ago but i can't seem to locate the info. still looking - will advise if i find it.

hi - they applied an epoxy adhesive w/ black resin in it to the entire wall and then the log slices were adhered to the epoxy.

Were the log pieces treated with anything for insects? or stained?

I attached little logs on both vertical and horizontal positions with success. I used polyurethane based pl glue. I used this with a 7 th grade technology class. Making furniture with wood that wasn't processed.

Laura - Do you know if the log cookies were treated to minimize cracking as they dried? What was the largest diameter cookie used on this wall? I'm very excited to try this in my home. Thanks!

Just to chime in, but ikea has fabric that has a similar, repeating pattern for roughly $7/yard. Making fabric panels in place of the wood slices might be more budget friendly and could have the added bonus of being a sound buffer. (It might even be a simpler project to tackle). Here's the link to their website... http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80240807/
