Truck Bed Divider Art

[Old Ford Guy]

Never too late! That 2x6 looks like it wants some personalization

at the very least a little paint job or some kind of personalization for sure!

Thank you!

I sanded it from 120 down to 220 grit with an orbital palm sander and freehanded the curved corners before moving to dremel work. doing multiple coats of stain. I wanted to retain some transparency as I love the wood grain and wanted to highlight the textures and knots so I didn’t want a heavy deep stain.

The dremel work was done with a common dremel (would love to get the narrower attachment so it’s not so cumbersome) and experimented with a couple bits that my husband had in the kit. It was my first time using it so there was a tony bit of trial and error but I think it came out ok. The negative (dremeled out) spaces were painted gold with a paintbrush, surface re-sanded to remove any over spill of gold and then doing multiple coats of stain. I wanted to retain some transparency as I love the wood grain and wanted to highlight the textures and knots. A few coats of satin clear to seal it in and voila!

i think it came out GREAT!
you may have just revealed a new business opportunity for pickup truck bed dividers. very creative and so worthy of all the praise in the world. if i were part of the Ford accessories team you would definitely be getting not only a phone call but also a invite to our next brainstorming session

Thought I would share the 2”x10” I stained and painted as my truck bed divider. There’s plenty of functional, sleek and barebones versions out there but I decided to make mine a touch more feminine. I did a charcoal stain, sketched out peonies (mom’s favorite flower), etched out (with Dremel), hand-painted the gold color inlay and then satin clear coated the board. 🤍

I like the fact that you stained the wood. The art is nice though a little bit girly. Nice overall.
I need to create a light weight devider for mine.

I meant to make cut outs for handle holes but I was being impatient to just get it painted and set it.

Also, that’s reassuring since I’m a female
