Small sugar pine desk blotter

[Marty Backe]

I made this desk blotter from 1/4" sugar pine and 8 oz leather. I use it daily for writing notes

I enjoyed seeing that ,but is "blotter" the right term?

[Marty Backe]

Thank you.

Yes, that is the correct term. For one example, see the third definition here: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/blotter

Is the leather pad glued in place?

Yes, it's glued in with spray adhesive.

I don't really have a use for a blotter, but I like it. Maybe I can find a friend or family member who could use one.
