I drilled 4 small holes in the back of the blank, these are for the push pins to us to raise the blank off the table for staining and painting.

Mask off the top surface that will be painted later, Trim the edges of the painter tape.

Stain the wood blank, and let dry for 24 hours. (I found that 24 hours was enough time for the stain to dry)

Once dry I removed the painters tape for the next step

Add Paint

Add two coats of paint to the top of the blank, again I let it dry for 24 hours.

Dry Fit

Dry fit and mark for the hole, these two holes in the wood blank will be used to mount it to the stud on the wall and will be covered by the hook once mounted.
