Start by cutting out the outline of the fish on each board. The middle board will have the top fins but not the bottom fins. Both outside boards will have bottom fins but not the top fin.

Glue each piece together and clamp until dry.

Drill a hole partway into each side piece to create the fish eye. Be very careful not to drill all of the way through or into the coin cavity.

Note: Remove a small section of wood from the bottom of the middle piece. We cut this out so it was hidden behind each bottom fin. This opening will be the access into the coin cavity. 

With two part epoxy glue a small piece of wood across the coin access hole. The original slug removed from the hole can then be screwed directly into that wood.
