This is the last maple pencil holder that I finished up last week. I built a set of 10 pencil holders over the last few months. I put out a video episode on these pencil holders back in April.

Fashioned from a revolver cylinder, this is 2 hunks of Oak and laminated together, then turned round, about 3 3/4", parting off the bottom for the base. A little carving with a Foredom and Dremal, and a big round hand file, then a bit of burning for highlights, and also added a pin so it would...

We decided to make gifts for my kids' teachers this Christmas. We used Siberian Elm for all of them. On the back side is a "trough" for pens/pencils. The two parts are not attached so they could be turned around if they prefer them that way. We used the CNC router in my classroom at school to...

So I have been very busy in the shop lately with all of the projects for Portable Pastimes, yesterday I decided to take some time and make something for the house (my list is long, but this was the easy one that was decided upon). Based on the design of the Wood Whisper's Pencil holder I made...

With the holidays just around the corner, it's inevitably time to start thinking of Christmas gifts. As a woodworker and DIY enthusiast, I like to include some handmade gifts in the mix. This year I made 6 simple gifts you can make from wood: #1 Baltic Birch Plywood Ring #2 Catch all #3...

Hello, This is was my first big pencil holder, holds 24 pencils with individual slots. I make much smaller pencil holders with my students so i decided to make a much larger one. I also have a big turtle, however i still need to be finished. This one was made up of 5 pieces of cherry with a...

This is a pencil holder I am working on. The main idea was taken from Marc Spagnuolo (TheWoodWhisperer) with some slight modifications. Instead of putting the holder on a base, I inset a bottom inside of a rabbit. Still to do: Sanded to 320, applied four coats of waterlox sealer / finish...

Don't you just hate when you get all comfy in your recliner reading then need a pencil to make a note? Base is Walnut , box is a novel piece of mystery pallet wood. Used the short from the pallet wood to make a note pad holder. Several coats of wipe on poly and foam in the box bottom to...

My wife needed a pencil holder, and I need a stocking stuffer for her Christmas stocking. So I found some scraps, cherry and a unknown wood. Turned them on the lathe and did a little carving. Lots of fun

Thought I would share my latest creation for my son, a huge Lego brick fan. I turned this Lego man head out of a solid piece of oak. I decided that since he loves to draw as well, then a pencil holder might be a useful item for him now and in the future. I used a burning tool to add the face...

My daughter needed a pencil holder to sit on the piano and our house is very mid-century so I came up with this design. Maybe my first original. Made of cherry, walnut, and toothpicks as tiny dowel pins in the legs. Thanks for looking

So another person is leaving the park, this time a part time employee that has been working all around the park the pas few years and has been a huge help with the light show over the years. Wanted to give her a piece of the park to take with her as she sets off on a new adventure. The pencil...

My wife recently took up coloring as a hobby. She has large sets (100+ colors) of pens and pencils, but needs only ten or so for a given drawing. This holder helps her organize the pens or pencils (up to 11) she needs for her current drawing. The holder sits on a small, low table beside our...

I blame this predicament on being a bit unorganized and being new in the woodworking field. It seems every time I put a pencil down, I can never find it again. I figured someday I am going to have to make a shop pencil holder. The other day I was looking at my box of Hardwood Scraps and wondered...

I thought I'd try my hand at something small for a change, and my pencil kept rolling off the desk, so I came up with this idea. I usually make big things, as you know, and there were new challenges here - how do you hold a strip of wood less than an inch wide while you route at it etc? Still -...

Have kids in first third and fifth grades, so we made pencil holders for their teachers. Each one got to spend some time at the drill press with assorted forstner bits, and sanding. The hourglass shape was just on my bandsaw. Walnut and maple scraps finished in waterlox original.

Yo whats up everybody here is the project post for the maple pencil holders I built in Episode 87. These maple pencil holders took a few months to work on because I have been working on other stuff in the shop since I started them. I made a total of 10 pencil holders and they are really not that...

Here are a few pen/pencil holders that I made last weekend. Two have walnut bases, and the other one is made from cherry. The cherry one had the most flaws, so I kept that for myself at the cube at work. I will give away the other two for Christmas. The top part is made from maple that I...
