I'm not nearly done but I remembered to grab my camera and document some more building of these things. There will be more corner treatment when I am done (ceiling corners). There is also going to be quite a bit more wall treatment lol. Anyhow: More pics and how to info: Corner absorber (6'X4'x4") frame, wood is red cedar that I got from my Dad's work (installs fence).

The 4' long wall ones were hung simular but I strung the picture wire across the frame and just hung it on one wall hook instead of 2 (there not that heavy so it would have been overkill to use 2 anyway)
(wall treatment, gooey hand prints compliments of the previous tenant :()
