I love this true and honest account of using wood cuts for path making. As a professional I’ve never had the guts to try it because, if what happened on Jen’s first run happened in a client’s garden, well, clearly I would deserve to be fired. So I am grateful that Jen shared the ups and downs of her path project, and am curious as she comes in the the spring how the latest version faired.

If they have to have another go, I think I would give this product a try — my own experience with shellac is not so good (it looks great until it starts to peel off of a deck, and then it is just a disgusting mess). Have you had luck with wood cut pavers? Any tricks to share?

To learn more about this project, check out Jen’s original post about the wood cut path, and her followup about how the original path fared — and what they decided to do to keep the second path from meeting the same fate.
