My playful side wants to keep you all in the dark and see what you all think these are. Let’s see…..the first is a thing-a-ma-bob…................and the second is a thingS-a-ma-bob. Nah, I aint gonna tell y’all right off.. I will describe them a bit. They are 3-4 inches long and an inch or two high. The first is made from a walnut thin and a purpleheart round. The second is some expensive bocote with a purpleheart and a paduak post. The white surrounding them is the round foam spacers found ot the top of spindles of CD blanks used to copy data from your PC. Anyone any closer to their use? You never realized that woodworking could hold any suprises. Boy will I be embarassed if EVERYONE ALREADY knows what they are and has made dozens themselves. lol. Since I want to keep my membership i better share what they are. OK…...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................(no peeking)......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................(someones peeking)..................................................................................................................my wife used to dump her rings at nite on the sink counter. i didn’t want them slipping down the drain or shattering on the hard surface,,,,,,,,so…......”padded ring holders.” My neighbor saw it and exclaimed, “How Brilliant,” so I made her the second.

That’s some pretty wood. A good way to use up small pieces.

Spid-ato runs in fear at the sight of the double thing-a-ma-bob! Unfortunately running headlong into the watch-a-ma-callit….bruising his whatsis badly.
Nice idea Hands….we’ve had to open the p-trap a couple of times to get dropped rings left on the window sill above our sink.

Nice looking wood. I’m glad you let the cat out of the bag, because I couldn’t tell the size from the pictures and was going to say they were…..(I better not say). ;^) Nice ring holders.
