Quarter Holder for Poker Night

Furnished content.

Several of us started playing poker online together during the pandemic lockdown. We would would use Goggle Meet so we could talk and see each other and Poker Stars to play.We just started playing in person and I needed something to hold my quarters while playing. I grabbed some spalted oak (that I found in my firewood pile) and a scrap piece of Wenge and went to work.I used a 1” Forstner bit to bore out the slots in the block and then cut it in half. Added the Wenge to hold everything in and 4 earth magnets to keep the top on. I forgot how strong those little magnets are. You can pick the entire thing up by the lid. The lid also serve as an extra holder while playing (If I am winning).

Segments are black walnut and hard maple, finish is 5 coats of wipe-on poly.The design, and the jig used to cut the segments, were inspired by Gary Asher, ThePapa1947 on Youtube.
