The FREE preview is for exploring appearance only; it does not provide build directions or production measurements. PRO is digital design software, not an order for a physical board.

The accent is in the details.

This finished board shows how small diamond accents bring the larger pattern together. See the design evolve, then follow the build from the first strips to the final board.
