Tips:

- For a more rustic look, use distressed wood boards.

- You can use any type of wood for this project, but pine is a good choice because it is inexpensive and easy to work with.

- If you don't have a table saw, you can use a circular saw to cut the wood boards to size.

- Be sure to clamp the wood boards together firmly until the glue dries.

- Sand the wood boards thoroughly to remove any rough edges.

- If you are painting or staining the wood boards, be sure to let them dry completely before hanging them on the wall.
