Staple the denim to the 2x4, and spread some chromium oxide (the green crayon) on it and you should be good to go. I made one of these recently from a wood scrap. It took all of 15 minutes I think.

Handicraft project! Nice!
Does the chromium oxide dry out or vaporize, or what’s the reason for keeping it in a zipped bag?

I do this primarily to keep it from rubbing off onto other things. The feel of these is like a hard wax candle. I don’t know of any issues with keeping them in open air.

Ok, thanks 😊
