...that somehow slid into the week (but that’s nothing new lol). The wife asked for a TV wall panel.

I started by making the framework:

Mounted on the ledger and fastened to the beams with angle mounts:

Chose T&G boards for the panel, blue pine treated with linseed oil:

Had to stop for now, since the TV mount bracket isn’t here yet. Once it arrives, I’ll finish stitching up the panel, put a box shelf on the bottom for paraphernalia & whatever trim the wife wants around the outer edges.

More pictures to follow.

Very interested to see the outcome. I love anything home theatre related

cool idea, look forward to seeing the project completed

Nice idea. A big screen deserves some framing around it. It looks pretty spartan just slapped against a blank wall. Look forward to seeing more. Will there be a shelf or cabinet on it? Extra speakers?

Look good so far Dennis. I really like the spalted wood you chose for the panel.

Tom,

Yes, there will be a floating box shelf for all the accessories. I’ll run the wires and the cables behind the panel. No plans for speakers, we’re thinking a soundbar.

*Idea!*....if you hinge the paneling along one vertical edge it'd give you a discrete hidey hole for your long guns. Just sayin'.

Haha, that’s a neat idea. Too bad I’ll probably get a divorce notice as soon as the missus finds out

The bracket has arrived !

100% worth the money paid for it. Looks and feels like it could survive a nuclear holocaust.

I like your prioritything! Get the flat screen up prior to actually finishing the planking...

Appreciate the sarcasm I had to actually measure the slack for the cords WITH the TV mounted and fully extended out.

I would hide the screws in the pine paneling. I think it would look nicer. I wis I could find pine like what you have. It sure looks nice.

I can always fill the screw holes with putty after everything is done. The wood is Sierra Blue Pine from HD that I treated with linseed oil, lots of bang for the buck.

Thank you The blue stain pine really has to be treated to get rid of that washed out look and bring out the grain. Pine in particular, looks rich and gorgeous after soaking up linseed oil.

You did a great job of keeping the screws very uniform,so I kind of like them exposed in this case

That’s a sharp negative, pardner. The little woman said “keep it simple, stu... err, darling”.

Almost there. Next is mounting a ledger under the bottom shelf, planing the top shelf edge, putting the trim on all the edges, a few cosmetic touches here and there, maybe a torsion partition inside the shelf and it should be done.
