Materials:

3 feet of oak.
1/4 lb. 8-penny nails to be used in making frame.
3 1" (butt) hinges, with screws, to join panels together.
1 box of brass-headed tacks to fasten burlap to frame.
Sandpaper and stain.
3-1/2 yds. burlap to cover panels.

Dimensions:

Frame: 4 pieces 1" thick × 1" wide × 5' long, to be used for upright pieces.

6 pieces 1" thick × 1" wide × 2' long, to be used for crosspieces.

Directions:

Measure and saw the pieces according to required dimensions. Cut the joints and nail the three crosspieces to the two upright pieces. Make the other panel in the same way and join the two together with the three hinges. Sandpaper, stain, and polish the frame. After it has dried thoroughly, cover it with the burlap on the outside, tacking this on with the brass-headed tacks.
