Toothpick Holders

[W.Y.]

Got my pen inventory to up over 100 again so now so it's time to work on some other things to add variety to up coming craft sales. I sold out of these last year so made a couple more today.

Warning---these can become habit forming

 

[cnirenberg]

Very cool. Those are definitely on my list of to do's

I been making the top and bottom separately, how did you get the wood grain to match like that?

Shape the top part first and part it off . Put a recess in the bottom part for it to fit back in to . . . .

Me too

I have been making these since I read the article in Wood Mag awhile back. I added salt and pepper shakers and present them as a set.

 

[W.Y.]

Great idea making the sets like that.
Very nice set and choice wood.

 

[W.Y.]

Yes Gary, you are right .

These are not only fun to make but they get habit forming after doing a few so I turned a couple more .
This time its cherry and birch that I glued up from some odds and ends this morning.

Thanks Dewey.
I had posted that link on my own site and was pretty sure I had posted it here too.
Probably what happened was that I didn't hit Submit Reply after previewing.
One of those senior moment things :wink:
