    Often the simple ideas are the best.

    Default business card holder

    Hi Christos,
    Whenever I am asked to "make something for the fete", I turn out these business card holders. I run off long lengths to the section. bulk drill them with a forstner bit and cut them to length. Drop a marble in the hole and they're done!
    This one is black heart sassafras but any spectacular timber will do. They must be popular because they usually sell out?

    Do you angle the hole to stop the marble from coming out easily with normal usage?

    Yes, the hole is square to the front (and back) faces so that it slopes down when the card holder stands on its base
