Hey guys, so we made a geometric wood wall art for our home using 1x2x8 furring strips.

This build mostly involves cutting, mitering, nailing, and gluing.

There are a lot of measurements and it can be a bit intimidating if you’re a beginner DIYer.

But if you follow all the steps correctly, I promise you that you’ll be able to build this beautiful art piece.

The measurements and plans for this build are available below for free along with the full build video!

Plan for building the Geometric Wall Art

How To Build The Wooden Geometric Wall Art

Step 1: The outer size of this wall art piece would be 39-3/16″ by 39-3/16″ inches.

And all the pieces used in this build have the same section, which is 1 ¼ inch by ¾ inch. and the lengths are of course different for most pieces.

Step 2: Take 1x2x8 furring strips and plane it slightly if needed.

Step 3: We planed down all the pieces. And then mitered the edges of the pieces as per the plan.

Step 4: It’d be really helpful if you can actually draw the pattern for this wall art on a large sheet of paper. we did that and it was super helpful to get the sizes for cutting it right.

Step 5: We laid down all the pieces we cut out, on the paper to see if everything was correct. Thankfully, all of them fitted correctly during the dry fit, and it gave us the confidence to go ahead with the glue up.

Step 6: Alright, so once the dry fit was successful, we glued each edge and nailed it to the piece near it. So when you are doing the nailing, notice that it is not possible to nail every piece individually, so you need to fit each part separately outside and then fit them together.
