Family Name Crossword Wall Art made from pallet wood

That’s a great idea there. How did you do the lettering? That is, did you have stencils or did you do them freehand?

-- Measure twice, cut once?!? But, cutting is more fun than measuring!

Very good idea and very well made. What is the meaning of those numbers?

Indy WW,
I printed the letters, using a scrabble font, the size I needed. Then I taped down the paper with painters tape. FYI, I have 2 of each letter printed out, as they do get warn out even using thicker paper. Then I used a hard lead pencil (think it was a 2H) and straight edge/ruler, and traced the letter. It ends up making an indention on the wood the shape of the letter. Then I used sharpie paint pens (I got cheap in bulk) to paint within the lines.

That s a great idea there. How did you do the lettering? That is, did you have stencils or did you do them freehand?

Great idea, well done and I love recycled wood projects

-- Norman - I never never make a mistake, I just change the design.

I am so impressed! No CNC or Laser- bomb project. This gives me inspiration to make similar stuff, thank you so much for posting.

Nice job. Spell out the family name and even add some history if you want. Cool.

Real nice! That pallet wood came out interesting, I wonder what it is. Smoothing it with an orbital sander was a tough job, I’m sure. Welcome to lumberjocks!

-- We all make mistakes, the trick is to fix it in a way that says "I meant to do that".

Great idea, nice work.
