Thanks all!
We don't do wood crafts anymore...too much dust with DH's breathing problems, so no "T" to come. For those who may want to try it.....The hard part was the placement of the finishing nails in the thin board edge. We found out later if we drew the patterns out with those edges on the edge of a board, we could clamp the board and drill where they went so much easier than if we cut the pieces first.
