business card holder *pic*

[rhett]

Just finished this business card holder. Client for whom I did some work wants my card in his reception/waiting area. Thought I would do something a little over the top to get peoples attention. It is made of maple and utile'. Sorry for the dark pics.

Very cool. Tell us more on how you shaped it, especially the middle support. Excellent work, and it would definitely catch my eye.

Much like the box handles I make, 80% of the shaping was done on the radius end of a belt/disc sander with 50 grit paper. Followed ofcourse by finer grits. Just a matter of spinning the piece by hand to get it round and make the cool "knuckle" shapes. Initail rough out was done on a band saw.

And to think, my mother though getting a degree in sculpture was a waste of money.:-D Atleast it was fun...from what I remember.

Man! that is really sharp! You never know when you take something on like that if it is going to turn out cool or look really odd...it's a fine line, imho, but if you get on the right side of it, you create a one of a kind piece of art! Nice job...I love it...especially the side view.
