an adult who can drill impressions into the wood

 

GRIDWORK

• 7 " square piece of paper
• Mark off 7 - 1 inch squares across the top and sides of the paper
• Fold and crease at each mark
• Mark each point of intersection to give you 6 marks down the side, 6 marks across the top then filling in the center - you should have a total of 36 marks

PUKA GUIDES

• The gridwork will help you as a guide for each puka
• Tape paper to 7 1/2" square piece of wood
• Use a hammer and nail to make marks in board
• Each puka will be the place to drill a deeper impression

 

 

Have an adult use a router to make each puka into a deeper depression

SAND

• use a 50 grit piece of sandpaper to do finishing sanding
