INSTRUCTIONS Prepare the wood From an ordinary kiln-dried piece of 2" x 4" lumber, rip sixteen strips to the appropriate dimensions. Tip: use the push-block here for safety. Place the piece of kraft paper or brown wrapping paper on a flat surface and tape one edge. Starting at the taped edge, glue down the first strip, spreading the glue thoroughly with a thin piece of cardboard (an old playing card works well here) or spatula, then press the piece down firmly. Continue across the sheet with the strips right against each other (see Fig. 1), gluing 3 or 4 strips at a time. Place weights all over pieces and let dry, then trim off the excess paper. Copy, cut, and coordinate Make two full size reproductions of the pattern from the Full Size Pattern Section—one for cutting and one for assembly; refer to the original pattern for numbered painting reference.
