    This mornings little project.

    I'm still trying to sort out items for next weeks art/sculpture exhibition, and decided that rather than have a horrid plastic business card holder to display the cards for my sculpture, I would instead quickly make a wooden one.[​IMG]

    Sadly there is still more to do it, but it will now just have to wait until sometime during the week.

          Mind you, when I read the thread title, "Mouse business card holder" ... I was expecting a cardboard box for mouse droppings :redface: :doh:

          Folly Mon, how could I possibly charge you for anything!:biggrin:

          I have no idea why, but a couple of weeks ago I suddenly thought about a girl that I had a crush on when I was at school, which was some 30 odd years ago. Sadly she died when she was about 17yrs old, but her coming back into my mind has given me the urge to help support one of the Anorexia & Bulimia charities. If I do manage to make something for you, all that I'll ask is that you just donate a small amount to one of the charities. I just haven't worked out which one yet though.:)

          It may sound daft, but the biggest issue finding a decent enough piece of seasoned oak to carve it from that doesn't have any cracks etc in it. I'll start to keep my eye open for something.
          Let me know what the business is going to be that you hope to start, and maybe I/we could come up with something else if the mouse wasn't quite right for you.
