Very nice Aaron!

Most cool indeed!

Very cool indeed!  How exactly does the token fit in it and how tightly does it fit?<br /><br />Kim

<br />Verrry pretty!  What a great idea!<br /><br />

Question was - how do tokens fit and how tightly: Short Answer: Peek at my website... there is a picture there of one flipped over and opened up.  Longer more complete answer: Holder is 2 pieces of wood with a Token-sized depression milled into the center.  The 2 pieces are held together with 2 brass Phillips-head screws.  How tightly the token is held depends on the precise milling of the wood... and is slightly variable.  I personally try to get each one so that the 2 halves of the holder seat flush against each other AND hold the token immobile.  I test each with one of my tokens... if the holder does not go together flush - I re-mill just a bit.  (In time the holder may become a bit loose, this can be resolved by adding a thin cardboard ring or piece of felt to the inside of the back piece of the holder.'<br />Hope this answers your questions – if not try again -  =)<br />Aaron<br />

Thanks!  I'm definately going to have to look at ordering one.<br /><br />Kim

These are AWESOME!!!!  I wish I would have thought of it long ago!  <br /><br />Thanks for making these available. 

Very nice indeed. What is the cost if we provide you with wood of our choice?

If you provide the wood of choice - I'd consider providing a basic holder at the lowest price I have listed on my website (same as oak or poplar).  <br /> <br />Note it would need to be 1/4" thick and at least 3" x 6" so that I have enough matrial to work with for the design. <br /><br />(I'd make a holder with wood >1/4" thick - but I'm not set up right now to plane it to any given thickness... and whatever thickness I use - the holder itself is double that so just be aware.)<br /><br />If the wood is sentimental (antique wood, or from an old barn or house...) that's cool I'd be willing to give that a try - if it is a certain exotic - I may have access to it already. <br /><br />Email me or respond here at the forum and let me know what you're thinking - I'm open to discussion:<br /><br />

Wow - they are really beautiful!  Might have to get one for my AoW, or another for my BotZ!<br />

oooooh those look awesome, I think Brian has the right idea.  I might have to get a couple of them for those extra special tokens, especially for when not in use.
