How to Build Board and Batten Shutters

Here is our supply list:

1×6 poplar boards

1×4 poplar boards

wood glue

nail gun and nails (1 1/4″, 18 gauge finish nails)

Our Lowe"s helpers cut the boards to length and then assembled the shutters.

We used paint sticks as "spaces" between the 1x6 board pieces. Then used wood glue and a nail gun to attach the horizontal 1x4 pieces.

• 

After the shutters were built, we sanded the edges, and stained the fronts and backs with MinWax Dark Walnut stain.

• 

So easy, but so beautiful! Check out the complete process by click on the link below.
