My most popular product last year was the wood bookmarks. They flew out of my booth by the handful and continue to sell well online this year. Because of the popularity, I have added a few new ones to my normal selection.
I hunt around through my local lumber supplier, as well as Ebay and other places for unique exotic woods that I think would make eye catching bookmarks. I let some of my wood finds stand on their own, and others will receive some domestic trim pieces from my scrap pile. Many of the pieces I use are purchased as pen blanks or turning blanks. They range in length from 5 to 6 inches which is the reason they tend to vary in length.
The ones in the picture are the new ones I have added this year. From left to right are:
1. Quilted maple and jatoba
2. Burl walnut, cherry, and maple
3. Florida grapefruit walnut and jatoba
4. Hawaiian mango
5. Quilted maple and bloodwood
