After getting a bunch of great comments on the simple step I built, I embarked on a new project - 2' long and 10" wide with the sides angled 15 degrees out. It's fairly low, but it's all the scrap I had.
Now that I figured out how to do this, there will be more in the future. It is internally screwed and glued with an oak framework.
Basically it just needs glue removed, sanding, tack rag and paint!
