Book holder

Recommended Posts

A suggestion at the market a couple of weeks ago and I thought this might be a good way to use up some thicker scraps. Thumb book holders. You put your thumb in the hole and then pinch the book between you fingers and thumb keeps the book open and is pretty. Here's the purty one.

3/4 box elder burl, #3 FD Polar blades, one coat BLO, I'm planing one multiple coats of shellac, until it's good and shiny.

I printed out one page of patterns to see how well they will sell at the FM here's the batch so far:

They be popular,  I made some a few years ago at the request of a niece. One for her, one for me.  I of coarse could not keep track of mine.   I have though that in order for the reasder to keep better track of one you could make some thin book marks and attach this to the page holder with a chain.  I have not tried it, just a suggestion.
