Option of wood
However, let's not go through the easiest way and for starters I will try to create a photophone after all Using a natural sawn timber.
To do this, you will need to prepare:
- Boards (quantity, length and width Choose yourself, but keep in mind that in the end you should have a fairly large square / rectangular shield, which will be easily located with the ease of placing a cake or boxing box);
- Liquid nails (construction glue);
- sandpaper;
- a crucifier (a special tool for wasting wood);
- Matte lacquer for wood, veil or acrylic paint.
It is recommended to work in a mask, since dust will be very much.
Step-by-step instruction:
- Split prepared boards on the required number of parts;
- Collect each sandpaper, then process the circular movements along the fibers - so you improve the appearance of the board;
- Ready lumber fasten with liquid nails - for this board you need to put a square / rectangle, turning them down "face" down, and apply the adhesive substance perpendicularly;
- On top of liquid nails also perpendicularly laid out the second layer of boards, but the front side is upward;
- After drying the glue, the surface of the resulting design is treated with a simulator;
- If you want to use both sides of a wooden shield, you can paint them into different colors (for example, in white and gray), artificialize the surface with the help of sandpaper;
- The final stage of the work will be the coating zone for the photo of a matte varnish in 2 layers.

This method does not imply any curious actions - It is enough for you to visit any store where wallpapers are sold, find a canvas with a suitable pattern, to purchase 1 roll and use it as a substrate under your culinary masterpieces . Of course, before making a photo, the wallpaper will have to straighten and add something heavy so that the roll does not twist back. Either you can simply cut off a piece of suitable size and stick it on a sheet of plywood or a large ceiling tile.
On the Internet on many venues, you can order ready-made photophones with any texture: under the tree, under the brick, concrete and others. But often the quality of printing on them is not too good.
