- Finishing products (stain and/or paint)
Assemble Your Pieces
Once you’ve gathered your materials, it’s time to assemble the pieces. Glue each piece together in a herringbone pattern, ensuring the edges line up. Use a drill to create pilot holes for screws and then use screws to secure the pieces together.
Sand and Clean the Surface
