Book Stands

Randy J. Arnold — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 20:30:49 +0000

A perfect way to display books in gallery settings.

These stands are understated and very elegant. I use them in my personal library to display books that I am enamored by at the moment, and to display my collection of rocks and minerals. I also use these stands in the kitchen to keep recipe books easily viewable and protected from spills or accidents. Handcrafted from walnut.

Available now through my website and Etsy.

Thank you.

Bench Hook

A new item available now through the RJAHM store. Quartersewn Oak and Walnut. A groove in the top keeps pencils or carving tools close at hand while working. The height of the stop is set so that it will not interfere with carving tools when working on linoleum blocks. Beautiful and useful.
