I made this item for friends mom. It says for those that may not be able to read it well: Birthdays Families and Friends. let me know what you think.7.jpg[/IMG][/URL] the second pic only has the link there its made with spalted pecan and chalk board paint.

You basically put the name and date on the circle and then hang it under the appropriate month for that person.

Pretty cool, CNC laser?

Laser engraved by a friend.

Nifty. Explain how the little buttons are made/acquired.

The wife has wanted me to make these for years. The sign is easy. For me, I'd CNC the lettering. The hanging buttons I hadn't wanted to make.

I glued together two pieces of spalted pecan. Then with the help of a friend he trimmed the wood with his jointer and then turned them round on his lathe. And then cut the cirlces with his bandsaw. then my wife painted the two coates of chalk board paint on. I predrilled the holes and then added the eyelet hooks and took some of the eyelet hooks and pulled them a part a little to making like hooks. I put 6 coates of polyeurathane on the board and left the cirlces natural.

that sounds like a lot of work.

Got a close up picture?

Nice.

What are the round things for?

The circles are used to put a person name and birthdate on it and then hang it from the hook their birthday month is.

mike ill try to see if one of the other pics I have is closer. The buyer of the item has it to give to his mother now. I am getting pics of it once its hung at the house.
