This pattern is cut from 1/4" thick soft maple. When I am cutting text I like to use a lighter color species of woo. The letters seem to show up better.
The cutouts for the salt and pepper shakers are two inches in diameter. Check the shakers you use before you commit to the size of the cutout and make adjustments if necessary.
The pattern has eight different sayings and one blank. The blank is used to the back and can also be used to customize your own words. If you just want a simple pattern use the blank for both the front and back without the words.
