How to secure Mini Orb sheets to post?

Hey everyone, I am wanting to frame some sheets of mini orb with some merbau board. The boards are 19mm wide each (front and back) and the mini orb is 10mm wide (total 48mm wide).

What is the best and most discrete way to secure this to a 90mm post.

Thanks

I could be completely wrong - but is this what you're wanting?

One thought is to rebate (router) the wood frame and fit/screw the iron in place, from the back.

Then attach (screw/glue) the fame to the post - discretely. 😁

 

On a larger scale...

I may not have explained it properly. I have attached an image.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @simoncole55. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about fixing a panel.

It's great to see that @Noyade has already been assisting. 

 

You could use angle brackets at the top and bottom to secure the panel. Rebating them into the posts will allow you to have the panel sit perfectly within the posts. I've created a rendering below to illustrate. Alternatively, with some accurate drilling and if you can access the other side of the posts, you could pre-drill and put screws through the posts and into the edge of the Merbau.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
