Step One: Cut your CedarSafe cedar planks into perfect squares. Use the built-in ruler on your saw, or hand-measure out your squares.
Step Two: Adjust the saw, cutting the squares at 45 degree angles. Separate out the cross cuts, flipping over the boards to cut the opposite angles
Step Three: Cut your back board, laying out your design and measuring to ensure you have the right about of board.
Step Four: Cut 1×2 trim boards for the sides. Measure for the top & bottom, then cut for those.
