A Nice little Holder...

[JD Combs Sr]

...even if I do say so myself.:biggrin:

Inspired by a fellow woodworker on another forum. (read "A blatant rip-off" :wink

Black Cherry outer and inner cylinders, African Black-wood lid, 1/4" Maple dowel rod connector. Finish is: Sanded to 320g then 1 coat of thin CA as a sealer then Deft RC semi-gloss lacquer. This one is a little tight for the longest picks. I consider this one a prototype. The next one I will give it about another 1/4" of head room clearance for the picks.

Nice work, excellent "re-creation."

 

[Bowl Slinger]

Very creative, I like it!

 

[Glen Schumann]

Well done!

That's a good looking project; looks like it was fun to make too.

Nice one. I like the combination of wood used and the shape you gave it.

You need some work on your website though. I was checking out your "gallery" clicked on the "Choo Choo" and a picture of a bowl appeared. Same thing with the "Wobbler".

Delightful- really like the shape and the colours & texture. Begs to be picked up. Very elegant.

Flattering for the original maker. You did him justice. It's wonderful.

I think I'll have to blatantly rip it off too. Looks like fun.

Good looking toothpick holder but it's not a "blatant ripoff". The design was published in one of the wood turning magazines, a British one I think, many years ago.

Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner because I can't reach my desktop!

Yep. I'm gona rip this off too. Great job

 

[Woodlvr]

Nice job. That looks better than the one from Wood magazine a couple of years ago. That is sharp looking.

 

[rizaydog]

Very cool.

Hardly a ripoff, James - Bernie made his from an old Wood magazine article, I believe. Yours is simply an elegant redesign of the original concept. Well done!

Thanks everyone for your comments. BTW the only ones I had seen(don't get the magazine were the ones Bernie made so mine is still a ripoff of his:biggrin:. This one does look pretty good but I still need to make any future ones a little taller. When this one is closed you can feel the lid hit the tips of the picks.
