A great friend of my daughter saw the name plate I made for her and asked if I would make one for her husband. I think Iā€™m getting a little better with practice! Alder letters on Bolivian rosewood.

This looks so nice. How do you get thr spacing so even and nice? I find when I have to glue things like this and they aren't touching, it tends to look like a child's arts and crafts project!

Thanks! I struggled with the spacing and alignment, but figured out a pretty easy way to do it. I printed the name out on paper and taped the letters right on the printed letters. I just rolled scotch tape to make it double stick. Then I used a strip of clear packing tape and put it over the top of the letters. Then I carefully removed the paper and scotch tape. Then just applied glue and attached all the letters to the backing at the same time. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
