board. Next, make all cuts. Note: I suggest working from the bottom up and across the pattern. Saw just outside the pattern line. After cutting, match each piece to its corresponding number on the base panel and check its fit (see Fig. 4). Double lines on the base panel indicate where space is to be left between pieces. Trim as needed.

Once you are satisfied with the fit, sand off any lines still remaining on the front of the piece and clean up all cuts. Note: do not sand too vigorously or you may sand through the veneer. Once sanding is complete, write the placement number on the back of each piece.

Glue each piece into place, taking care not to apply too much glue. Clamping should only be required with the larger pieces. The pieces that lie along the outside of the pattern will hang over the edge slightly. This is normal and will be trimmed flush with the base panel once the design has been completed.

After all pieces have been glued in place and the edges have been trimmed flush with the base panel, fasten the design to your frame. Apply three to four coats of clear finish, sanding lightly between coats. Hang and enjoy! »
