i have a stainless exhaust hood in my kitchen and would like to cover it in wood to warm up the look. The top part is covered in tile,( under the wreath) Any suggestions on how to do this. Can they be glues up or does a frame need to be constructed to attach the wood to.
Here are a few of Hometalk projects that I think will help you:

At least you have a somewhat attractive cover. Sometimes we have base metal ducting at Habitat houses that we need to cover. I glued up a 3-sided MDF panel that slid to wall. It was painted to match wall color. It can be fastened in place using a construction adhesive of caulking. It is not going anywhere.
How about a beautiful wood veneer. This very thin wood could be framed like your cabinet doors or not trimmed out at all for a more modern look. Narrow front edge could be covered with veneer or remain as stainless, as well as the sides. I don't see space for added wood at the sides but veneer being so thin would probably work!
