My sister in law in Sweden has this thing made out of metal and suggested I make one out of wood. So I sat down today and made the pattern then cut it out. the first one was trash, I had to make some mods to it to make it work better, plus I used 1/8 plywood and it was too flimsy. the finished product is in 1/4 baltic birch, it's very strudy.
so here it is:
Hers had windows on the side like a house but i thought it looked better with something scrolled in the side, in this case a humming bird. I'm going to make one with a cross in the side and take it to my friend with the christian book store.
a place to hold your books and with one layed on top it holds your page till next time your ready to read. I put a backer on it so it can be hung on a wall or it can stand as is.
