Here are three more Christmas gifts I completed for two of my grandsons. Since the boys are growing up I made some book ends relating to things they are involved in. One is in the boy scouts and so I included the boy scouts symbols. The next is into bowling so I added a miniature bowling ball. And for one of my sons the "executive" version. All book ends are hard maple and walnut. Finish is danish oil.
These book ends are simple to make. I completed each one in two evenings.

All three are extremely nice Alfred. The Boy Scout logo and the bowling balls set those apart as personal. I am not really into the modern look but that executive look is extremely nice as the curved piece really looks good to me.

Very nice work, Alfred. I particularly like the walnut and maple executive set. Like Sarge, not much into the modern stuff, but the contrast really makes that one stand out. Of course, the others are personalized and that makes them kind of special.

Great gift ideas - simple and quick!
