Step-by-step Instructions
Build the outer frame with 1x12 boards.
The best joinery method is 3/4" pocket holes and 1-1/4" pocket hole screws and glue. 1-1/4" brad nails with glue could be used as an alternative.
Step 2
Add the 1x4 boards. These boards add quite a bit of structure, so nail and glue well.
Finishing
Sand all surfaces, starting with a medium grit and finishing with fine. Wipe off the dust, fill any holes or gaps with wood filler, and sand smooth once dry. Apply primer if you're painting, then finish with your choice of paint or stain and seal with a durable clear topcoat. For outdoor projects, use exterior-rated primer, paint or stain, and sealer so the piece stands up to the weather.
