Project Information

I decided to make a business card holder as a gift for my customer since their cards were all over their desk, hopefully I'll get some more sales out of the deal! ;)

I got the inspiration from Rance's Page and added my own touches to it.

These pieces were made from scraps laying around the shop, I had I nice piece of figured hard maple that I found in my router cabinet build that I've been storing for months now.

Finished with Woodriver's Tung Oil.

I like the way you made it lean, and the wood combos as well.

Nice job on the card holder. I like the bevel you added on the base. Good choice of woods.

Thanks for the link back to my page. Glad to see the design used by others.

I like your variation Lance…..these little "filler" projects to use up the scraps are really good - helps clear the mind also. Nicely done….

Love this design! I'm fairly new to woodworking, and decided to try this design with some maple and purple heart. I ran into issues last night clamping the holder to the base. Due to the nature of the design, it didn't want to clamp without rocking out of place. Finally got it, but had to use a clamp on the elevated end to help stabilize it. I didn't thinki I put alot of pressure on it, but after an hour, the miter joint gave out. Any tips on glueing this thing up? I'm thinking of using a small dowel to help. Thanks!
