Instructions
Step 1: Cutting Triangle Plywood Base
I used 3/4″ plywood and ripped it down on the Table Saw. Choose the size you want to create. I personally went with 11 inches width and 22″ length. Next I marked the halfway mark on the length portion which is 11″. Using my circular saw and jig I cut from the midway point to the corner. I did this on both sides which created the Triangle backboard. The Triangle backboard is what is used as the base for the wood lath to be glued and nailed down.
Step 2: Prepping Wood Lath
- I bought a 50 piece bundle of Wood Lath at Lowes for about $13 dollars (used a coupon, normally $15 dollars)
- You will only need about 4 pieces for this project
- The wood lath comes a little rough to touch. Start by smoothing it out by sanding it down with 120 grit sand paper or higher.
- After sanding I used Danish Oil Medium Walnut to bring out some of the grain. You can use any stain that you prefer.
- I painted 2 pieces of wood lath with white paint + primer.
Step 3: Chevron / Geometric Design
- Set your Miter Saw to 45 Degrees to make all your wood lath cuts. ***Be extremely careful where you place your fingers***
- Measure to fit for the Chevron design.
- Use a brad nail gun and wood glue to hold everything in place.
Step 4: Framing
- Use 45 Degree cuts for the Framing Process
- I modified 1×2 lumber for the frame. I ran it through the planer to create a thinner profile. Use wood glue and brad nails to attach the frame.
