Fine sandpaper
- 1 29" x 26" plywood most hardware stores will cut down your wood
- 2 29" x 29" plywood
- 4 metal "L" brackets
- 16 wood screw 1 1/2" long
- 2 wood stain any color
- Paint any accent color of your choice for the lines
Sand all of the edges and flat surfaces of the wood boards.
Stain your 29" × 26" wood. The piece is going to be the top so we chose to stain it with solid color.
For the the two 29" x 29" wood sides, use a pencil and ruler to draw your pattern. Then, tape off the pattern.
Using a very dry foam brush with a little stain, brush the stain onto the pattern in alternating colors. Make sure to use a different brush for each color. If you use too much stain at a time, the oils will really bleed into each other. Be sure to do multiple thin coats instead.
Once the stain is dry, remove the painter’s tape and retape the opposite edges to paint the accent color of your choice. I ended up using multiple coats of white for a solid line finish. Using wood screws and L brackets, drill the L brackets to the inside of all four corners of the finished cabinet pieces.
