Starting with getting the wood down to 3/4" and 5 1/2". Not all the boards remain this width, for a couple of factors.

Next up is getting the router table dialed in for two passes per side. I used some mdf trim we had laying around for this step.

Time for the walnut boards.

Time for some finish - we decided on Odies for exterior/ UV protection. Plus, it's easy to re-apply and buff off.

When it came time for installation, we started with the center board to get the fuel cap centered and then worked outward.
