Basically I let the 4x8' sheet of wood dictate the size. I cut it in half lengthwise, then again in half lengthwise. That gave me 4 - 12 inche boards. Then on the 8' length, I cut 5 of them 14 inches and 2 of them 13 inches. But read earlier on this post and they don't recommend you use wood as the acid will hurt the fabric. I guess you could wrap each piece with saran wrap or something.
