I built 4 of these off a downloaded plan. The diagram looks like a chessboard with numbers 1-5 in each square, representing the length of each peg. Bought long pine boards, did the math on how many were needed of each length and chopsaw away! For visual impact, selected a few contrasting stains and stained each piece before gluing onto the base. Add miter cut molding as trim...and there ya go... The plan details may be on my system page thread.
A fun and easy project for my wife and I. The wood shop is her domain, the listening room mine. Cheers,
Spencer
