Hello Lathe Ladies, Mitre Mates, and Plywood Pals!
I’ve been tracking my kids’ heights on a wall for several years but I’d like a prettier solution. Something I can screw on the wall and mark their heights on (maybe temporarily and then go back with a wood burner or something). Ideally, sometime that’s two identical adjacent pieces that I can give them if I’m ever lucky enough to be a grandparent.
A straight 7’ board with a cutout for the moulding and burnt or painted 6" increments is the simplest solution, but can y’all think of anything nicer? I would prefer to keep it on a semi visible wall instead of the laundry closet.
Thanks friends.
I can’t picture it, I’m sorry. Is it a plank facing the wall with organic looking edges, and a little nub of a branch sticking out perpendicular to the wall at every height mark?
Flat plank against the wall cut in to the silhouette of a tree. We didn’t go for regular height marks- Height marks are burned in to the wood at each measurement date with the measurement written beside it. I attached it to the wall using picture hangers, so we will measure with pen and take it off later to burn it in.
