    Toothpick Holders

    Here are a couple of toothpick holders that a lady asked me to make for gifts. These are spalted maple with the pith left in them. You can see it in pic's 3. These are finished with a couple of coats of shellac from flakes and then 3 light coats of lacquer.

    Nice Bernie, I especially like the grain match of the lids.

    Thanks again. She came and picked them up. She was absolutely delighted with them. I had some walnut one's at the gallery but she wanted a lighter wood. She said they were perfect.

    Very nice Bernie! I like the forms and the wood sure is purdy!
