I made bookmarks a couple of years ago and put them into Christmas cards, everyone loved them.  This year I'm making Christmas decorations to put into cards.  So going on what people said that received them yours should sell easy, they are great.

Nice work, I am in the process of making 105 for a cruise next week, mine are from  1/32" walnut.  Did you use any finish?  I'd hate to use something that would rub off in the book.

I just ordered (5) 1/32 x 12 x 24 Finland Ply from Sloan's. That much fits within the $40 shipping break point. I have high hopes.

Thanks Pete. I usually give them a quick dip in BLO/mineral spirits (50/50) but on these there is no finish. Once sanded they feel great to hold.

Now a question to you, where did you get the 1/32" walnut? Is it solid or ply? Thanks.

I went to Ocooch (however you spell it) hardwoods, they are only an hour from where I live, cut it while I waited.  Solid walnut.

Thank you so much for showing these. Also for the info on where to get the wood that thin. I always thought bookmarks out of wood were useless. Now I see that it can be done thin enough. I will have to try some of my own. Thanks for sharing.
