Bath Board! My very first woodworking project. It's 2 pieces of 2x6 cut to about 36" inches long each. You will need to measure your bath tub to see what size boards you will need to fit across it. I ripped 1 long side of each board on my table saw so I could join them togther. I used 3 pocket screws and glue to join them. I plugged the pocket screw holes and sanded the plugs down smooth. You can barely tell in the pictures after the stain was applied. I mixed saw dust with the glue when I put the plugs in so it would take the stain better and blend in. I marked up the outline of the areas that I needed to cut out with my router and penciled them in. The areas I cut out are for a wine glass, phone, soap bar, and a candle. You can arrange your board however you want, this is just the order I did mine in. Then, I used my router to cut out those areas free handed. I stained it with a dark wood stain. I used my wife's vinyl cutting machine to cut out the word "Relax". I painted over the vinyl with white chalk paint and pilled it off. Mother-in-law was very happy with her new bath board. Being my first wood project, I thought it turned out fairly nice and exceeded my expectations.

Ask any questions and I'll try to help the best I can.
