  • Saw
  • Rasp or router
  • Finishing nails: Size 10d
  • Hammer
  • Woodburning kit, optional
  • Sanding block or foam sanding pad, or sandpaper
  • Measuring device

How to make it:

  1. Cut a board to desired length.
  2. "Ruffle" (wave) all edges with a rasp or a router.
  3. Sand down rough edges.
  4. Pound in 10d finishing nails in a row, 1-2" apart, 1" from the edge.
  5. Either woodburn a "title" or add another row of nails offset from the first row.

Tips:

Barb Stephens was kind enough to post these activities that can be done with Cub Scouts - boys ages 7-9 years old. She gave us permission to edit her posting in holiday-specific files.
