Turned Toothpick Holder/Dispenser

Furnished content.

Turned Toothpick Holder/DispenserSo a friend asked if I could make him a toothpick dispenser. What he described was one of those things you see on the counter at a restaurant — you know, basically a box with a little roller knob on the side and made of sheet metal or clear plastic. But my friend wanted one made out of wood. He requested if I could stain it like dark oak. After thinking about, I asked him if I could go a different route, so I described what you see here. He said that sounded fine to him, but hoped I wasn't going to charge him too much. I assured him that he'd be happy with the price. Frankly, I don't plan to charge him anything — it was just too much fun making this — and it only took part of one afternoon and the material was scrap I had laying around. He's great friend and we play golf together a couple times a week when the weather cooperates and bowl together when it doesn't. I plan to give it to him when we see each other next in a few days. Hopefully, he'll like it as much as I liked making it.The main wood is black walnut and the top knob and center spindle are cherry. I finished the entire thing with paste wax.
