I cut egg carton pavers 1/2" x 1" to fill the space between 1/2" x 1/16" wood beams. The entire structure is enclosed with 1/4" x 1/16" beams. I glued the pavers to the template, leaving next to no space between the bricks. This wasn't a wall where I needed room for grout lines.
To age the wood beams, I used a carving knife to rough up the surface before sanding the boards smooth. I stained the wood using Staining Antiquing Medium mixed with Mississippi Mud by Americana.
I painted the bricks with Liquitex Burnt Sienna, aged with a dark paint wash. I cut and glued the wood beams to the template starting with the border and then cut the diagonals to fit. It worked out better than I thought it would.
