To begin this woodworking project, print the template you downloaded in the previous step and carefully cut out the outline with a pair of scissors. Then place the template on an 18" long piece of 1x10 hardwood and trace the outline onto the hardwood.
Next, reposition the template so you can get a second identical piece and trace the outline in this position.
