This is a project that I just finished for a friend. She wanted something portable that she could carry with her and place her Bible on at church. I came up with this design.

Poky,
Very interesting piece. Nice design and function. Good looking too. I am sure she is pretty proud to walk into church with that.

That, is quite possibly, the coolest design that I have seen in a while. Nice looking wood. Great project. Love it.

That's a really nice design. I was just wondering how many hours did it take to get it to the finished point? Include design time too, OK

Honestly, I did it in a day. I had been trying to think of a way to do it for a while, but hadn't come up with anything. I woke up one Saturday with some ideas and went to the wood shop and started working. It just seemed to come together. So I kind of designed it as I went. I actually had the finish on by 9 p.m. that evening.
However, that is quite unusual for me. I don't typically use plans but do a lot on the fly, but it sometimes will take me several weeks or a month to complete something. Since I have a full time job I usually just work a day and maybe an evening or so a week.
