Steps (4 steps, 240 minutes)

  1. 1

    Here, you can see that I recycled some old sheet material.

    Then screwed a long straight edge in the middle, before gluing and nailing mitred pallet wood strips on.

  2. 2

    Then trimmed the excess off.

    To repeat on the other side, I removed the middle bit, and screwed more pallets to match.

  3. 3

    After trimming the excess again, I belt sanded all the wood smooth .

  4. 4

    Then painted contrasting colours using an array of test pots before adding trim and mounting to the wall.
