Figure K

13. Paint the board with desired acrylic paints that complement or highlight the dye colors. This step is completely done by hand (figure K).

14. Final touch up or inking can be completed once the paint is completely dry.

15. After touch-ups are completed and the piece is dry, spray the final 2 to 3 coats of lacquer on in heavier but even coats.

Figure L

16. After the board has had enough time to dry, a poplar wood frame is cut and stained with red mahogany or black stain. Nail the poplar frame to the board (figure L).

17. The board is flipped over and marked and routed out with a keyhole for hanging.

18. Cut a piece of felt and glue onto the back of the board to protect walls and tables from scratches and to finish off the back of the board.
