So ORIGINALLY i was set on getting a nice wood slab and have everyone sign it. I had it all planned out. I work for a very large company that does exotic lumber and live edge slabs so I had it tested out on sample pieces and I was thrilled. The lead finisher at my job walked me through it and showed me everything and my job was going to gift us the slab and we would just have to pay for it to be finished once it was all signed or we could opt to finish it ourselves. I definitely wanted the finisher to do it because I didn't want to ruin anything. We tested pens and markers and found the best brands that worked. Long story short my lead finisher left and we have someone new! Shes great I just don't know.... I didn't go through the entire process with her and how it was going to be done and now its so close that I just don't know if it would be worth attempting. So i started thinking of other ideas.
I'm pretty curious what everyone else is doing. Let me know which of my ideas you like best and tell me what you decided on! I'm 2 months out!
1.) Frame this and do fingerprints with a name next to each2.) old school, this would trigger nostalgia. I love this idea as well but idk about how expensive film would be and how hard it could get for guests if they have to change out the film every so often and what not. 3.) This was my original idea and turning the slab into a side table!
4.) Keeping with the wood theme this would be super cute and a lot easier for my to do without help from someone else 5.) More wood ideas but not a slab. This would be a prefinished piece and use markers on surface and then r- varnish but again... idk. I love the idea of using it or hanging it somewhere which is why I keep coming back to wood ideas (plus easily accessible through my job)
