Looking for cut wood decorative panels for stand front.

[glb]

Hi everyone. I finally got around to building a frame for the front of my tank stand:

Right now I have a curtain hanging with a tension rod in the stand to hide everything, but I have an idea for the front. Instead of doing doors, I’d like to put in some decorative cut wood panels. I don’t need doors because I used magnets to attach the frame. This is the type of cutout wood I’m looking for, but I would need much smaller panels.

I’m looking for something that will hide the equipment but also allow for enough airflow inside the sump to prevent a lot of humidity. I’m thinking 12x12” or 12x24” panels. I’d also love something intricate like some of the laser cut panels I see for home decoration. But I need something made of wood or pvc, which I’m having trouble finding. Does anyone know where I could find something like this?? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

You can find 1/8” - 1/4” thick wood panels in those sizes at craft stores like Michales or Hobby Lobby. Depending on what you want cut or etched into the panel, most awards/trophy/sign shops have laser cutter and will charge you a small fee for the time used to do the cuts.

If you are looking for decorative things to attach to wood, look for things called "appliques".

Just search laser cut panels on amazon. There are many to choose from.

You could use something like this and glue it on the inside, it’s aluminum so shouldn’t rust. Lots of people make inset cabinet doors with these.
