protruding front "lip" when nailing the outer frame in place. Use two to three nails on each of the four corners (see Fig. 3), and touch up the raw ends with the leftover outer frame paint.

For the trim, use the 1/4" balsa strips. Paint them according to the Painting Table, but do not wipe. Begin with the bottom piece, aligning it edge to edge,

then repeat with the top piece. Make the side pieces to fit. Use glue sparingly, and hold the balsa in place with straight pins until dry. Attach two 3/4" screws to the back of the board 5" from the top and add a sturdy hanging wire.

Your Woodscape will be a guaranteed attention-getter, so display it in a prominent area of your home! tj
