We started by run two piece of music of old barn wood through a board saw to make them a uniform 5″ broad . We then cut two part to 48″ lengths for the top and bottom , and cut the remain divider and terminate musical composition as well .
Our barn boards were 3/4 thick woodwind instrument – so we ignore our two close spell at 1.5″ longer than the middle dividing pieces to get across the top and bottom plank at the ends .
Once all the pieces were cut – we selected one of the 48″ long boards and traced our 5 A. E. W. Mason jarful hole evenly space across the board . To rationalize out , we used a Mandrillus leucophaeus with a 1/2 piece to make out a hole inside of each traced square , and luxate in the jigsaw blade and burn out the trace line .
Then , we merely assembled the oddment boards and middle dividing boards with a couple of nail , and in a short under an hour – our centerpiece was complete !
