First I had to trace the pattern. Then I cut out the board with a coping saw. Next I used a rasp to smooth out the edges and a power sander to finish them off. After that I sanded the faces very smooth and wiped them with a tack cloth before I put on the stain. After the stain dried, I covered the board with 3 coats of polyurethane. Then I drilled the holes with a hand drill. I cut 3, 3” pegs from a dowel with the coping saw and glued them into the board and covered them with polyurethane. To make the pieces I used 5 different sizes of hole saw and an electric drill. The woods I used were Padauk, Zebrawood, Purple Heart and Walnut because they look really nice and unique. Then I had to drill the hole bigger in the middle and cut them in half with the coping saw because the wood was 1” and the pieces needed to be thinner. Then I sanded them smooth and covered them with polyacrylic to make them shiny. .
