Where To Buy Wood For Diy Growth Chart?

[Missycrafty 0]

Am thinkining of DIYing this growth chart so that we can take it with us if we move. Does anyone know where to get 1 inch x 6 feet x 8 inch pine wood with smooth finish. Also, can that be trasported in a taxi?

Got the idea from here http://517creations.blogspot.sg/2011/04/ruler-growth-chart-pottery-barn-knock.html

Challenging question. If you try the industrial park (like Defu or Eunos), some small size furniture factory should be able to cut it for you to the size you need if it is plywood. Pine wood.... not sure if they have it. Not common.

Easier to mark off one side of the kid's door. Can take it with you, though a might heavy.

IKEA may have some pine planks long enough for your purpose. If too short, just install it higher off the floor. Their wood pieces are usually well finished. Otherwise, paint it.

I just figure this out. wine boxes make a good source of pine wood... if you need to "merge" a few smaller planks, Daisho ($2 shop) sells some thin strips of pine wood as well)

Good luck ! (great idea btw. my son is 11months only but soon I will make one for him... )
