Step 2 CUTTING
I scaled it to the right size and the cutting could start.
Step 3 PAINTING
Start paintig with the different colored alcohol-based stains. I also got these from the local carpentry shop after choosing the colors.
Step 4 BONDING
I varnished the sheets one by one thickly and weighted them down thogether. That way, I didn't have to use glue, the drying of the varnish connected the sheets.
