If you have been reading my blog for awhile, you already know that my husband makes beautiful, hand turned acrylic handled seam rippers for my Etsy shop.  I haven’t listed any since Christmas because he has been busy with this project.  

 

It was a special 71st birthday gift for a family member and he just finished it up.  It’s a Shaker style lap desk.



 

Inside there are sections for pens and paperclips and an envelope holder.  You can put two stacks of paper in the main section, side by side.

 

 

I don’t think he has made a project of this complexity, at a small scale before so it was a challenge for him and there were a few frustrating moments but I think it came out really well.  That’s his stamp in the center of the bottom.  I designed it for him as a birthday present about 10 years ago now.  He burns it onto each of his projects.

 

He has a few home renovation projects that need attention now but hopes to fit in some seam rippers here and there too!
