First 3 Pics;
In answer to our ever rising shortage of horizontal space on our desks.

Diminutive in size but readable at 10+ feet. The red oak letters are .625" square with a 45 degree chamfer on the back edge to tilt them up for readability. They sit on a .75×1.0" base with a .25×3.5" mortise to house business cards.

Simple red oak desk names similar to above but with smaller bases without a card holder.

Thanks y'all. I really appreciated the comments.

They are carved freehand in a type style that I have developed with strength and readability in mind, so no two will ever be exactly the same. No patterns, templates, lasers or computer aided devices are used in making these (not that there's anything wrong with these methods).

I've been guaranteeing my keychains for life against breaking for over 20 years and have had less than a handful returned for replacement.
