    Default Jarrah Business Card Holder

    This Business Card Holder is only a very small project, in fact, it only has two parts, but it managed to present it's own set of problems. It would have been a lot easier if the blade on my tablesaw tilted to the left.

    It's made from recycled Jarrah. Hope you like it.

    Hi Ticky,
    It looks really good, I like it . How about some really thin cuts of a complementary timber to act as business cards, maybe with the message burnt into the face?

    Regards,

    Rob

    Mmmm... nice!

    That looks like a nice little gift project! A "title card" like Rob suggests with the name of the recipient, et voila! A pressie anyone with an office would appreciate.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Timber printing stock has been around for at least 35 years. Still available, I hear. Very thin veneer with a backing to provide cross-grain strength. Won't go through a laser or inkjet printer, or a photocopier, so forget about DIY printing except by hand one at a time. Consult a commercial printer, i.e. an old timer who still does, or at least once did, letterpress; not just a nouveau photocopy shop.

    Thanks for the ideas. I designed it for a stack of business card to sit on a desk. Bit of a please take one sort of thing. As I am not in business, I don't have my own card, so I just put one in to give an idea of size etc.

    I have given a couple away, & I have had a bit of interest from a bloke that wants to buy a couple. They take longer to sand than they do to make.

    Any way, it was an interesting little project.
