This was a xmas present for my Brother in law and fiancee to track the height of their son. I wanted something that they could take with them from house to house and looked nice enough that they could have forever. This is made of cherry and and maple with no finish. To get the tick marks I used the table saw and fence to get them to be accurate. I then glued it up to the cherry. I did not want the “lines” to go all the way across the piece so this was the best method I could find. The name and number I did on my bandsaw and then cleaned up on the OSS. This was a very quick project, but it got tears so it was a real winner.
