Toothpick Holders

[Bernie Weishapl]

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.

Those are too cool, Bernie! I need to add them to my "to do" list, cuz I love the small jobs.

Very nice Bernie, love the wood. I made a few of those last year. They make great gifts.

[Eric Holmquist]

Good job, I've made several of these, they are a lot of fun.

[John Keeton]

Nice, clean work, Bernie! I like the burn lines.

[Jim Burr]

Beautiful choice of wood Bernie...it finished really well!

[Roger Chandler]

I like the design of these a lot, Bernie..........nicely done!

[Greg Webb]

Hi,
You guys have the bar raised pretty high around here for a beginner! VERY nice work!

[Pete Jordan]

Those are cool Bernie!

I keep meaning to make those.

[gary Zimmel]

Sweet work on the pic holders Bernie...

[James Combs]

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

[Bernie Weishapl]

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.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Nice work on both of these Bernie! I can see why your customer was so happy with them! Congrats on your sale!!

[Kathy Marshall]

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

[Alan Tolchinsky]

Bernie, Those are beautiful. That last pic really shows the wood. How did you cut out the top of the holder and keep such a nice grain match?

[Lori Kleinberg]

Very nice. Beautiful wood.

[Scott Hackler]

Really nice Bernie. I am sure they will go over great.

[Sid Matheny]

Great looking toothpick holders and she had reason to be happy. I have made several of those but made the cup deeper so if someone pulled it out to far the toothpicks do not fall out.

Boy Bernie, these are very nice.
I had a lady ask about toothpick holders the other day. I may have to go back through my Wood magazines(I think that's were it is) and find the article about making some simular to these.
Thanks for posting these beauties.

Toothpick holders look great! A very nice job there. I'm sure she will definately be pleased with those.

[Ken Hill]

If we had enough teeth in these parts we would make them :eek:

They look really nice. I will have to save some smaller blanks and try a few of these!
