Thanks everyone. Just a small simple project but fun to do anyway.

Bruce That was the word I was looking for ‘chamfering’ The edges of the 2×4s were chamfered where the X’s cross.

This morning my wife had gone out to do I knew not what. I went out to mow the lawn on the other side, but first I sat down to change my shoes and I faintly heard someone calling my name. I went around to the other side and here was my wife laying on the deck. She had crawled out to the deck from the back where she was trying to stack some sacks of firewood against the new partition when she fell and couldn’t rise again. Luckily no great harm done except for a bruise and a scrape. She is supposed to leave the heavy lifting to me, but she doesn’t always follow the rules.
