Business Card Holder #3 - Another Leaner

Another nice one. I get scraps from a local cabinetmaker that I declare “harvested” in South Dakota. It’s the only mahogany I get. No sense wasting it.

No it is not oak by the looks of the grain, but I don’t recognize what it is. Nice BC holder. let me know how they sell for you. I have some designs that I’ll take to market in Nov for Christmas presents, I hope!!..........Jim

The base looks to be something that is quarter sawn. It could be oak. Very beautiful whatever it is. Great job!

Rance,

I am really liking this concept of yours – have you tried pitching them to places like doctor’s and/or lawyer’s offices? They seem to spend a decent amount of coin for stuff like this and they usually have the need to hold multiple cards.

My first guess would be QS white oak or possibly chestnut. It’s certainly appears to be quarter sawn, whatever it is.

Great work!

This is really a gr8 way to use up some small cut-offs, scrap, etc. I’ve always said, there is no scrap in woodworkin

Another hit! My guess is old growth, quater sawn White Oak as it looks very much like some I have from reclaimed farm fencing which my dad built back in the 1930s. It strikes me that either a live edge base or root end would be very interesting but more time consuming to finish—just a thought.

Another nice one Rance!
Great job, as others have said I hope these sell well for you. They Should!

The base grabbed my eye and I immediately presumed it was White Oak. Very nice overall design : )

Thank you all. Well, I took this one to the gallery this afternoon and wouldn’t you know it, it sold while I was standing there. So Jim, yes, these sell well. John, I’ve got a rustic edge one in the making. I’ll try to get a pic of the piece I used for the base. It certainly different.

Nice design and build (obviously since it sold instantly!). I was gonna guess QS red oak on the base but others seem certain it’s not oak.

Very nice indeed.
How do you attach the holder to the stand?
Is it simply glued together, or do you have a dowel or something between them?
