I made one of these for a guy who gave me the BEB and it got enough interest at the last craft show that I decided I should make one to sell. Actually, I've made 2 sets, but this is my favorite of the 2. The business card in the second pic is just a guy I have done some business with before and I really liked the way the horse pic looked with the cardholder.   |

Very cool!!
What is the finish on the holder? Whatever it is, it sure brought out the figuring in that piece!!

I agree - awesome Doug, I too would like to know what you used to finish the cardholder.

Thanks guys. My wife applied the finish. She put on 3 or 4 coats of Minwax glossy Wipe On Poly. I also applied a Minwax "Natural" stain prior to her putting the poly on which helped pop the grain.
The pen got the stain treatment too, but the finish is CA.
