Remember to add a little bit to the width for an easy fit over the couches arm. Cut two more pieces of wood to run down the arm of the chair. <\/li>\n<li>Once you have your pieces of wood, using your sandpaper smooth down the edges of the cut pieces of wood. You can also do this on the surface of the wood to give a smooth finish. <\/li>\n<li>Place the piece of wood that you will be using as your base on a flat surface.
