This is a little project that was to take a couple of hours to do and turned out to be several. The scroll saw work was a lot more time consuming than I thought but the project needed more of a flair so the design cut into the napkin holder. The wood is black walnut. A dado and a rabbit cut were used to place the two 3/8” napkin supports and a forester bit was used for the salt and pepper holders. A routed edge was to give a bit of character around the salt and pepper placement. The finish was wipe on varathane with sanding between the three coats with 400 grit and then the final waxing with Johnson’s floor wax. Oh, and I put just a dab of RTV on the bottom of each corner, pushed it onto a flat surface and let dry so there would be some very thin non skid feet, (about 0.030” thick and about 3/4” diam.)

Ah, salt & pepper shakers. I thought it was for votive candles. I was deeply concerned about the proximity of napkins. Very nice. Have you thought about a template so you could make more as needed?

Good scrool work, I like the holder on one side and the salt and pepper on the other.

I love it. It really turned out nice. It remind me of one i made about 15 years ago i made a lazy susan and put a napkin holder in the middle and you could just put the salt and pepper shaker any where on the lazy susan. The lazy susan got broke in moving so i am going to make another, one day. Thanks for the posting.

The napkin holder with provision to keep salt and pepper is so cute. The scroll saw design and the finishing is is very nice. I am motivated to make one.
