Murratte's Book Holder

For my Sister-in-Law's retirement I made this book holder. It was inspired by one we found at our giant flee market, I made a few alterations to fit my design. It is made from Birdseye maple, first after a bit of chisel, work the hinges were formed, then I scrolled out the design, and then carefully cut it in half. Finally after a bit of sanding to remove the resaw marks, a bit of poly to protect it, and it looks great.
