My good friends having a baby gave me a project idea, custom letter blocks. Super simple idea that I over-complicated by my choice of materials (“upcycling” some 2×4 scraps, instead of buying square dowels).

Materials, Consumables, & Hardware:

2×4 scraps, untreated.
1-x- Pine board
Acrylic Paint
Shellac
1/8″ Ball End Mill
