I just finished these bookmarks and thought I'd share them.

The horse bookmarks are adapted from Sheila Landry's Horse Candle Tray and Charm set.  They are 3/32" solid cherry with spray varnish as finish.

The arrowhead is from Steve Good.  It is 1/4" oak with no finish.

The dolphin is from Steve Good.  It is two veneers stuck back to back with double stick veneer tape.  It has a spray varnish finish.

The lightning bolt and fleur-de-lis are also from Steve Good, but the bookmark design on the latter is from Tuliptree Crafts LLC.  There are also veneers with the lightning bolt being maple and the fleur-de-lis being...Uh, I forgot  ??? .  (It's from an entertainment center we just built at my work.)  They too have the spray varnish finish.

My first cut on the 3/32" cherry resulted in four accidents (I stacked the cut) when I broke the leg of the horse on a too sharp turn.  My second four lost one in the herd for losing one it's legs as well.  The ones you see are the only survivors.  I'll have to change the design if I cut any more!  :D

Really nice work Karl, I can see where the legs would be very fragile.

These look great!  I was thinking if you cut them sandwiched in between some fiber board or chip board, they may hold up better.  You can also glue them on a solid thin piece as an overlay and they would still look good and have much more strength.  Just a though. 

You did a wonderful job! :)

It is difficult to cut so thin without breaking the wood, but you did a wonderful job.
