We had some mahogany boards that were leftover from a project at my parent's home. The sentimental part is that they just sold their home two weeks ago, and now we have a piece of it with us always.
He used a biscuit joiner to put together a few pieces of the wood. Then he used a good old fashioned planer to get the boards even and smooth. When all of the boards were attached he used his router to create a decorative edge around the growth chart. He then stained it with some left over gray stain from another project. I took this picture outside so you could see the wood a little better with the stain.
I purchased some vinyl growth chart stickers off the site Sassy Steals on morning for only $3. I had a credit which made it 50% off the already great price. It was a lot less expensive then I would have been able to do on my Silhouette, and a lot less time consuming. I just found a similar product on another daily deal site this morning. The site is called Jane and it has great daily deals too.
