Weekend prototype Part 2

I know it's been a long delay on finishing the weekend fun project but this weekend I have almost finished!!!
This weekend I ventured to one of the hardware stores and purchased a 1x6x10 cedar wood planks. (this week I learned that a 1x6x10 is not actually 6 but about 5 1/2inches.) I had them cut the boards into 6" cuts. So, the tiles are 6x51/2.
Next, I sanded the edges down so they are more rounded and smooth. When I was finished sanding I laid out the letters and realized they are too big. So, I re-cut the letters 4.25"and the little letters/numbers are still 1" (actual size) using the Sans Serif cartridge on the Cricut.
After re-cutting the letters I simply spread Mod Podge on the wood and placed the letter in the glue. I let the Mod Podge dry and brushed another layer of Mod Podge over the letter after the first layer was dry.
Here is a preview of the completed titles:
