Another Dam Business Card holder here. This one is a-la-natural edge. I saw what ended up as the top edge and knew that should be featured in a project. At first I cut it off square, then angled it to make the top sorta horizontal. I used that 2nd offcut as the support on the back. The vertical is leaned back 15°. And the angle cut for the back support just fell in place, almost by accident. Oh, ok, it WAS by accident.
Not real happy with the pics. Adding a sample business card really messes with the color balance, not to mention my own balance. I'll try to work on this in the future.
This Dam wood is really not very good as compared to what you buy from the lumber yard. It has LOTS of cracks, nastiness, and just plain ole rotten spots in it. It can still be used for small projects though. Some of the nasties can be featured, and they should. I'm considering selling small lots of this but not sure how I'd price it though.
Wood: Red Oak that's been underwater for 150 years from the Crib Dam in Fredericksburg. You can gooogle to find out more about it.
As always, comments and criticisms are welcome.
