Step two:

Nail both 1 1/4″ strips width-wise to 1×6’s…top board = 1 1/2″ from top; bottom board = 1 1/2″ from bottom. This will hold your 1×6’s together, so make sure you nail down both ends and in the middle. 1×6’s should be secure, once smaller strips are nailed down…

Step three:

Paint frame (tops, sides and front). I dry-brushed and used a little sandpaper on mine to give it more of a worn look. But it’s really all about personal preference and the look you like. πŸ™‚ Allow it to dry. (Or use a blow-dryer if you are in a hurry)…
