Barn wood shutters can be a good rustic wall decoration, so prepare 6 – 1×3 wood furring strips, 2 – 1×2 wood furring strips, a miter saw, tape measure, 1″ nails, wood glue, stain or paint. Adjust the measurements as needed to fit your space. Once you are happy with their look, use some wood glue to attach the three smaller pieces on top of the 1×3′s. Important tip: anywhere the glue touches will NOT hold any stain, so be careful how much glue you use! Clamp down the glued pieces until they were totally dry, then carefully flip the shutters over to nail the boards together. Read the rest of the tutorial here and finish the shutters!
