Pear Toothpick Holder - September 2010

This is another in a series of posts about some of my past projects.  This was done in September 2010.

I made a toothpick holder for my sister's birthday. It's made out of pear and was turned very green. Since her birthday is Monday, I had to finish it before it was dry, but I don't think it'll pose a problem. Hollowing as deep as I needed for the toothpicks with my 1/4" spindle gouge was the hardest part.
