My wife asked me for a book holder. An adjustable one no less. So this is what I came up with.
This was built while taking a break from working on my harpsichord.
The wood is Peruvian Walnut and it’s constructed with visible dowel joints which are oak for contrast.
Finish is oil poly.
It’s totally adjustable and even lays flat for storage.

it’s lovely—looks like a little picture window—a picture is worth a thousand words which may be written in a book, held by this lovely “window” book holder….
