I made this growth chart for my grandson. It is just a 1x4 and takes less that 30 minutes to make.
I carved the ruler with a 60 degree vbit set at .07, I think it is a little deep for staining, next run will be .35
I finished it with Briwax, The letters are outlined rather than the traditional centerline. I havent figured out how to change the depth of cut on centerline text yet, other than tricking the machine to think the board is thicker than it is. But then that would also trick the machine for the rest of the project.
