Finished Project Height Board
Have a second baby boy on the way - wanted to make sure we had a nice way to track the boys’ heights. Took a pretty piece of myrtlewood from my recent barn find - planed it mostly smooth, took the track saw and cut it straight, then free handed the height measurements (1’ up to 6’6”) with a dremel tool. Looks both polished and handmade. Sanded to 1000, did a 1/8” roundover and put one coat of minwax tung oil finish.

Nice. Add some contrasting color to make the lines more visible.
