That’s nice looking wood, and toothpick holder. Turned out good (no pun intended)
Did you turn those tooth picks too? :)

Tim, to get to the point (whoops),I don’t know if I could turn something as fine as a tooth pick. Thanks for your kind words & thanks to everybody for taking a look.

You didn’t make Osage Orange toothpicks. But the holder is great.

I like it ..oh yes and i been wondering what to do with my Osage orange .. ....but one question …...where is the little hole for the toothpick to come out …?

No hole Gator, you lift the lid and the picks come to the top.

This is a gorgeous piece. After seeing your posts I will never look at an osage orange tree as a nuisance tree anymore.

Well done.

Nice turning work Grumpy!

Very nice Grumpy!

I’ll bet Osage orange would make a great toothpick.

Ok, that’s it. I’m going to have to get myself a lathe now (my wife is going to hate you!).

Mike, you could always make some nice trinkets for your wife with the lathe to soften the purchase & keep the bruises to a minimum.
