Measure and cut the rest of the trim boards to size and attach them to the outside of the panel using wood glue and brad nails. This will leave the top with an overhang giving it a tray look. Line the base of each trim board up flush with the bottom of the panel. We chose to add a 45˚ cut to each corner to give the table a clean finished look. Once you have made all the cuts and dry fit everything, attach all of the patterned boards to the panel using wood glue and 1.25” brad nails. Now fill the smaller spaces with the scrap you cut from the other boards. Once you finish one side, move on to the next!
I did add the exact measurements to the cover sheet, but it’s important to measure and cut as you go on this one! We found it easiest to make several of the full length piece, like below and then mark and cut the smaller pieces from the scrap of those pieces. Two of the boards will be flush on each side and the other board will be centered on the panel. Now let’s get started!
