Make a modern leather headboard; Cut two pieces of 1 by 2-inch board to 5 feet. Cut the four pieces of 1-inch board 2 to 18 inches, by means of a saw. Place the leather squares face down in two rows of four each. Center a 5 foot board across the top four, and the other at the bottom four. Place the 18-inch pieces between the upper and lower plates vertically, one for each pair of squares. Screw the boards to the back of plywood and make your screws are short enough that they do not want to scroll through the front part of the plywood. Space two screws on each square panel for each table. Attach the down-facing flush-mount cleats to the top table at each end.
