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?
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

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?

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