    Making this DYI project now. Plywood was $49 and stain $19. Rented a saw table for $49 for 4 hours. Definitely a full day project sanding and staining take the longest time.

    Better if you use an orbital sander in the whole panel and stain or paint it as a whole, then cut them to size. Place them all to a side, clamp them to make a one piece again, sand and stain; same with the other side. Now, for a less trouble with cutting and carrying from the store: Buy wood boards, they have a better side finish than plywood. Cut, clamp, sand, stain, repeat...👍🏻The sense of satisfaction once you finish is the goal.

    looks great, i never thought to use plywood, people don't understand 1x2 firring strips are softwood and the surface is really ugly. your way you get a veneer AND it's cheaper than using pure hardwood strips. the only thing I would do different is use a smaller gap, and I would see how I could make the wall behind it flat even if I have to mud it or use a wood panel behind it. I'd also try a flat black color. minor gripes, you did great!

    Yeah well the cheapest walnut veneer i found was $16 for 2" x 50 feet... And im gonna need like 20 feet of veneer to do 3 sides of each of the 100 boards that are $5 each... So im looking at over a $1000 for the project im about to do... vs $100 for stained plywood. I just wish that i had a table saw and wasnt living in an apartment :)

    ​@@GwynBleys I have the Harbor Freight Hercules contractor table saw for $300 when it's on sale. it actually has great reviews. the apartment thing I can't help with. You could get away with it if you resaw your veneer with a bandsaw though, plus it's safer. yeah I saw the veneer prices and started researching how to do it myself. so far by research has led me to rockler woodworking, they have really nice bandsaws for sale. I first looked in Grizzley bandsaws but the reviews are atrocious, they no longer care about the customers plus the reliability fell off a cliff. rockler has nice drum sanders

    Also how did you secure these nails to the dry wall? Over time the could loosen and your slats will fall off the wall. You need to be nailing into a stud or using some sort of construction adhesive. Last I noticed that far left slat is a bit close to that light this could be a potential fire hazard. Just a few things I thought I would bring to your attention project turned out great otherwise.

    @@shiftctrlhack it's softwood, you could find acceptable pieces however it would probably need planing and jointing. it wouldn't turn out "great" by any stretch of the imagination. you would need to hide it with a dark stain. sure someone who doesn't know anything about wood wouldn't notice. I seem salty? not really, they asked a question, I answered, truthfully. it really will warp, It's labor intensive. the smarter way is to just cut thicker strips using your bandsaw out of Harwood such as maple or even alder. it looks much better than pine. if I seem salty it's because I can see the difference between cheap pine and something else. if they are cheaping out on the wood I highly doubt their staining and prepping and fabrication skills are good enough to hide that. it's like polishing a turn or slapping lipstick on a pig. I know I could pull it off with pine, but I would still know and I would not use pine and give that to someone, it doesnt really save you money, you're using extra time and effort to make it look good, or you do a bad job and other people know what you did
