Equipment

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
