It’s Christmas time and I have been trying to make as many gifts as possible. I was inspired by Steve Ramsey (WWMM). He posted some bookends that he made and I really liked the design. So I made this set of these simple bookends. I made mine out of maple, but I think walnut would be a good choice too. When I was making the support pieces, I put two screws in the bottom to hold them in place. And I cut a rabbet in the bottom piece just for a stronger joint. And I also finished these with a polyurethane finish.
Thanks for looking!

Nice ones , AJ. you could also bore a big hole in the support gusset to give it different look. Bore the hole and finish it off with 45 degree chamfer bit on the edges. It kind of gives them a handle!.......Jim

Good job AJ. The rubber feet would be a good idea.
