Spalted Pecan (I think) desk set

[jtate]

An Atlas (or Carbara) pen with a paperclip cup and business card holder.

Hey Julia, I hope no fools use the details on your card. Remember that this forum is viewable by ANYONE[]

Edited to koreckt my krummy grammer, and to say I like the hi-lights on the pen[]

 

[jtate]

I know. It's all out there all over the internet anyway.
(edited - think this fixes it?)

Thank you.

Smart looking set. I particularly like the design of your business card holder.

Did you create the slot for the business cards before or after turning. If after, do you have a jig you use to stabilize the turning? Excellent wood choice and excellent set!

Beautiful! Now, can we talk about some issues I have??? Namely, Wood Envy....

Jigs? We don't need no stinking jigs!

I turned the business card holder to a dome shape, then pushed the tool rest up so that a corner of it was between the jaws of the chuck. That prevented the chuck from turning and I just sawed a slot in the dome and cleaned it up with hand-carving tools and a file. Then I sanded, sealed, and finished.

Now, about that wood envy...

Oh, our time is up for today, we'll have to discuss that next week.

Don't know if 'we' can afford your rate$. Thanks for explaining how the card slot was done.

That will give your desk a very classy look. Well done.

Looks good. Does the business card holder fit onto the paper clip cup like a lid?

 

[jtate]

James, that's a great idea! This card holder doesn't fit the cup but I think I'll try that on the next one.

Thanks for the feedback!
