Carefully separate all of the pieces and remove the tape. Only the 3/4'-thick oak outer rim, the l/4"-thick oak inner disc, and the 3/8"-thick plywood inner disc will be used for the project. The remaining pieces can be set aside. Palm sand all surfaces in the direction of the grain.

Assemble the rim around the plywood base with the bottom edges flush. Wood glue the base to the rim, and glue the opening in the rim closed. Place a thick rubber band around the rim and clomp in place. Let dry overnight.

Using temporary-bond spray adhesive, attach the pattern of Lincoln to the 3-1/4" x 4-1/4" piece of oak and the lettering patterns to the 1/4"-thick oak disc. Cut along the outline of Lincoln's profile, end woodburn along all other lines. Lightly sond with a fine-grit sandpaper.

Apply oak stain to all pieces and let dry. Using CA glue, glue the background piece into the rim base, then glue the Lincoln profile into position. Spray with a polyurethane finish, attach a hanger, and display!
