The job was easy. It's a simple piece of 8x4 plywood. But this one has those strips stamped on. So all I did was cut the length because the width was perfect and sand it to smooth out some imperfections and attacked it with a golden oak all in one stain,seal,finish. I still have to create some cheap strips so I'll keep you informed on that
