    needed case

    I turned a pen and pencil (rosewood) as a donation for my grandaughters preschool fund raiser, then decided they needed a case (maple). Comments welcome.

    Thanks for looking and the comments. The case is about 7 1/2" high by 1 5/8" dia. The holes are 5/8" in the top area to accommodate the clips and 1/2" toward the base. I think the case could have been a little shorter and still held the set. My wife thought it was a pepper grinder.
