Measure Up with This Custom Ordered Growth Ruler

Another custom ordered growth ruler to share with you. This ruler was ordered in crisp white with black numbers. Here are some others: crisp white & big numbers, aged dark wood old ruler look, grey weathered wood old ruler look, grey cursive font with quote ruler, purple & silver cursive ruler, grey old school ruler look, assorted wood colors, a stenciled narrower version and the famous mouse themed dark stain and red ruler to just share a few.

My wood pile is now down to one board left after all those projects listed above and this one.

When painting white over raw pine board you can get bleed thru. To prevent this I paint the board with 2 coats of primer. I also paint the back side a coat to seal the board entirely and help prevent warping. This also saves you money on paint too as it is pricier then primer.

The board only required one coat of Rustoleum Chalked Ultra Matte Paint in linen white then lightly sanded with a sanding sponge.

Time to add the measurements; these where stenciled on using the Muddaritaville Studio's growth ruler stencil and Fusion Mineral Paint coal black using a stencil brush from Cutting Edge Stencils. The numbers were stenciled on horizontally with the same black paint and brush.

To seal it all up 2 coats of clean liquid wax was applied and the custom order was complete!
