If you closely in this picture, there’s a 17” tall script letter B on this old scrap board. I’m pleased with how the B looks.
It’s purpose is to inlay onto a backboard of some sort for people to sign at my daughters wedding.
I don’t have a jointer. I don’t have a split fence on my router table.
I’m asking for two suggestions.
One being how to achieve this. I’m considering cedar fence boards with .25” gaps and making a decorative “fence” 3’ tall by 2’ wide. Then I’ll inlay the B using a finished plywood. It’s just a thought. I’m looking for other ideas. I’ve never done a glue up and not very confident i can joint boards very well.
The other suggestion im looking for is, if i don’t do the fence board idea, then what types of wood should i use? Obviously the contrast has to be there, but neither species can be overly dark, to allow for writing on it with a sharpie.
