The furniture was inspired by this Ana White design.

I chose to glue the thick end of the shims down and used a small headed nail to hold the thin end in place.  I overlapped the shims leaving 6″ exposed.  Gluing takes longer but you don’t have exposed holes.  Use only enough glue to hold the shim in place but not enough that it squeezes out and comes in contact with the wood surfaces that need to accept the stain.
