Book Markers for Christmas

I would like to know more about these. “back in the day” bookmarkers used to be a treasured thing…and so did books (hello internet, TV, blah-blah) Seems to me to be a nice little stocking stuffer. I will make my wife one in the morning, she reads alot, thanks for posting such a cool little project.

Very nice Daren. I’ll have to “steal” your idea and make some for gifts and for myself! They are beautiful.

A great idea. I am always putting a piece of paper to mark where I stopped reading. This would be so much better. Thanks for the idea RAH.

I’m always saving the super thin table saw off casts and creating quick little book marks, especially if it’s a wood with some character. Never thought of actually purposely making one. Great job.

It gives me some ideas what do to with all those scraps I have from my other projects. Those Business Card holders could also use up some scraps as well. I hope we see more of these type of ideas.

Excellent idea. I haven’t made those but I’ve sometimes used a bandsawn offcut around 6”x 4” x .125”, sanded smooth, as a postcard. I write the message and address directly on the wooden card, stick on a stamp and mail it. This approach won me a $50 book in a woodworking magazine draw! I also sent one as a birthday party acceptance some years ago, and the recipient still has it on display!

Nice idea, I have to leave to make some. Times running out.
