Dan Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 One of my coworkers gave me a chunk of maple that he cut down. Lucky me! It appears the ambrosia beetle called it home for some time. I didn't know what to do with it so I started by making these bookmark blanks. I'm not sure what design to cut but I like them with nothing cut. I'm hoping one of the chunks is large enough to make a bandsaw box. Dave Monk and amazingkevin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
