Summary: Tim Carter demonstrates how to use solid-wood planks to make a wood ceiling. It is important to prestain and urethane the wood before wood ceilings are installed.

Instead of the traditional drywall ceiling, using beaded ceiling planks can make for a great looking ceiling. These wood planks have a tongue and groove system for interlocking. The tongue and groove makes for a seamless look to the ceiling. To make the job go faster and cleaner, stain and urethane the wood pieces before nailing them to the ceiling. You won't have the urethane dripping into your face!

Drive the mounting nails into the wood at an angle and there will be no sign of the nail heads. Wood ceilings add a lot of flair and character to a room. Consider it on your next room remodeling project.
