++++++I am making a Ouija board with my friend, and so far we've gotten a piece of plywood, sanded it down until it was really smooth, and rounded the edges. Now it looks kind of like a blank game board:

++++++I know there are some imperfections, but we plan to try to fix that with putty or something.
However, we still need to somehow transfer onto it the letters before we finish it. This is a rough idea of what I'm trying to do:

heh - i made this on Word

Anyways, we kind of reached a dead end on how to do this (and no, we have no fancy printing machinery). Any ideas?

You could always print it out in the size you want, tape it to the board and with a pencil outline the letters, pressing into the board so when you take the paper away, you have indents of the letters.

You can also get some stick-on letter from craft stores, then pencil in and paint the other designs. Or, you could just print out the Ouija board and use the plywood as a platform. You might want to put a piece of glass or plastic on it when you're done to make it smooth, otherwise it might not slide very well.

Why not draw the design on in pencil and then go over it in marker pen?

You could do what the fellow said before about printing it the side you want and transferring it with pencil....then maybe get a wood burning set(you can find one ridiculously cheap at Walmart. lol...my hubby uses it for foam shaping) and do that. All you would have to do is find something transparent and flat to place over it.
