earrings holder

[tlt]

I finished this one up just in time for V-day, made out of walnut and maple. The general idea came out of a plan I saw in a Berry Basket patterns CD. There's not a whole lot to it -- the trick is getting the horizontal rails to be perfectly spaced so that they're not crooked. A spacer stick, along with only gluing one rail at a time, helped with that. I crosscut the earring grooves on a wide board using a full kerf blade, and then ripped off thin pieces to keep the grooves consistent.

Thanks for looking,

Nicely done!

BTW - I like those little pyramid thingys. Where'd you get those?

Simole.. clean and functional. Looks really nice..

That's a very nice job. However, this is my idea of an earring holder... Only holds one pair at a time, but looks good in any room in the house.

Very Cool

I'm thinking, 'Cat Toy" but then I bet you don't have any. Nice workmanship and selection of wood. Uncle Cracker has a point too he just needs multiple ear ring holders for his solution.

Now there's an idea... I like the way you think, Bill.

JR,
The pyramid 'thingies' are quite handy. I got mine at Woodcraft. I imagine Rockler and places like that will have something similar.
Home Depot ot paint sotores might have themas well.

Where you will find a girl with six or eight ears may be a problem

That turned out very nice and is a good looking design.The woods chosen really compliment each other.I am sure she loves it.

[Richard in Smithville]

Thats pretty cool. How thick did you slice the ear ring strips? Did you finish with oil or some other clear finish?

[lrogers]

That turned out real nice. Bet it was a hit on Valintines Day.

Nice job, however, as much as I like it I have to say I prefer Uncle Cracker's version.

UC - I'll take two, can you make them and get them to me by the weekend

Sorry Jon, but I think I'll be using up all my inventory myself...

Nice work. Somebody was happy on Valentine's Day.
