What you’ll need
- Mitre Saw
- Brad Nailer
- Paint Brushes
Tools
- four 4” x 4” x 8’ spruce or pine boards (not pressure-treated)
- 1 1/4” brad nails 1283-024
- Beauti-Tone Designer Series paint in matte or satin (Colours used - Minty Muse CL08-0 and Diamond Mine CL52-0)
Materials
Heres How
- Set up a stop block 3/8” away from your mitre saw blade to make quick, repetitive cuts.
- Cut 3 of the 8’ boards into 3/8” slices.
- Move the stop block 3/4” away from the blade and adjust the saw for a 10-degree angle.
- Cut the remaining 8’ board into larger, angled biscuits by alternating the saw blade’s angle from 10 degrees to 0 degrees so that each piece has one flat side.
- Thin your paint with water at a ratio of 1:1 and paint the slices in your desired colour. For a slightly more dramatic look, paint the angled biscuits in a different colour (shown: Minty Muse CL08-0/Diamond Mine CL52-0). Let dry.
- Using a brad nailer and starting your first row at floor level, pin each slice to the wall.
- When you have your desired width, move up to the next row and continue until you’ve filled your space.
