Project Ideas
Business
Reclaimed Lumber Inventory Marking
Offer a service to salvage yards and builders to grade, measure, and color-mark boards on-site. Use standardized blue symbols for species, length, and defects so stacks can be quickly sorted and sold with fewer errors.
Framing Layout Kit and Workshops
Bundle two blue lumber crayons with a story stick, layout templates, and a quick-reference guide. Teach short classes on accurate marking, coding, and cut sequencing for DIYers and apprentices; upsell the kit after class.
Jobsite QC and Punch-List Marking
Provide third-party inspection services to builders. Use durable blue marks to flag fixes, measurements, and pass/fail symbols that remain visible through dust and light weather until tasks are closed, then remove with heat/solvent as needed.
Temporary Pavement Wayfinding
Serve farmers markets, pop-ups, and event organizers by marking booth outlines, cable paths, and arrows on concrete and asphalt. The wax shows up clearly and withstands foot traffic; include cleanup service after the event.
Art Prints from Urban Rubbings
Create and sell limited-edition ‘blueprint’ rubbings of architectural textures (grates, plaques, brick patterns). Package as posters or note cards, emphasizing the distinctive wax texture and durable pigment from the lumber crayon.
Creative
Wax-Resist Stained Wood Art
Draw patterns on raw wood with the blue lumber crayon, then brush on stain. The wax resists the finish, revealing crisp blue lines and negative-space designs. Great for layered geometric panels, topographic maps, or botanical silhouettes on reclaimed boards.
Joinery Layout and Assembly Marks
Use the crayon to code mortise-and-tenon or dowel layouts on rough lumber. The durable blue lines stay visible during cutting and sanding, and you can add simple symbol sets to keep complex glue-ups organized and error-free.
Outdoor Texture Rubbings Portfolio
Create a field journal of texture rubbings by placing paper over brick, bark, manhole covers, and stone, then shading with the crayon’s flat side. Compile into a collage or series of prints with a cohesive ‘blueprint’ aesthetic.
Garden Stepping Stone Mosaic Plan
Sketch mosaic patterns directly onto concrete pavers or stepping stones with the crayon. The wax marks hold up outside (under 100 °F) while you set tiles or pour tinted mortar, serving as a durable, high-contrast layout guide.
Live-Edge Furniture Scribe Lines
Scribe bowties, curves, and trim lines on rough slabs and live-edge pieces. The blue stands out on most woods and remains visible through handling, making it ideal for routing, inlay placement, and cut planning.
