It Works! T/Pick Holder W/PIC

[Chris DiCiaccio]

Saw this in Wood Magazine (#182 March 2008). It's from a piece of spalted "UNKNOWN" wood from my yard. 4" tall counting the finial x 2 1/4" wide.

That's pretty slick Chris. Nice job.:)

Nicely done Chris! I like that idea.

[Pat Doble]

Great idea and nice job with it Chris.

[Brian McInturff]

Just saw that issue this morning and was thinking about making one. After seeing yours I'm definitely making one. That looks really sharp!!

[Mike A. Smith]

What a cool idea, well done Chris!

[Bill Stevener]

I like it. :D

[Steve Schlumpf]

Just got my magazine this afternoon and noticed the holder! You made a pretty good representation! Nice wood - nice work!

[Greg Just]

Very nice. I got my magazine yesterday and the wife already suggested those would make nice gifts. Guess I'll be making a few. Any tips?

Just make sure that you don't make it any shorter than the plan calls for or the toothpicks won't fit.

Now that is really cool and my wife seconds it! Now she wants one for her father. How do I get instructions for that?

[Clem Wixted]

Did you turn the toothpicks also? :-)

[Bernie Weishapl]

Jon,

Buy the March issue of Wood magazine or, better yet, a subscription (it's a good wooworking magazine). The article is four pages.

Chris,

Very nice! I was just looking at my magazine last night and thinking that as a guy with a serious toothpick addiction, I need to try making one of those!

[John Maus]

Nice Job Chris.

I just saw that one too and thought it would be fun to make.

[Ben Gastfriend]

That is really neat. Good job, and I also really like the wood. Now, we'd like to see a bigger one for straws like they have at Johnny Rockets!:D

[Dan Forman]

Nice job, that one caught my eye too.

[Dennis Peacock]

I believe that wood looks like spalted yellow poplar. I've turned a lot of poplar and most of it spalted with lots of green in it like that.

Beautiful job on the toothus-pickus-holderus!!! :D

[Trevor Rice]

There is a video on wood magazines' web site of this project.
