Hardwood Bookmarks

For people who read things.

I had some beautiful hardwood left over from other projects, so naturally I made bookmarks. Then I started engraving things on them, and here we are.

They're cut from solid hardwood, engraved in my shop, finished by hand, and given a bit of colorful cord. Some have little dagger charms, because apparently I can't leave well enough alone. The sayings range from bookish to mildly inappropriate. Nothing too complicated. Just a good piece of wood holding your place while you ignore whatever else you're supposed to be doing.

A few things worth knowing:

• Each bookmark is approximately 1½" wide and 6" long.

• They're made from real hardwood, not plywood or veneer.

• You choose the saying. I choose the wood from what's available.

• Grain, color, and cord combinations vary. That's part of working with natural materials.

• This first batch is limited to 25 bookmarks.

  
  

Same words. Different wood. No two quite alike.
