Stamp Holder
Basic Description Here is a plan for an incredibly simple project. The minimalist design is both fun to make and functional. It's a great project if you don't have much time or material or if you are a beginner trying to gain some experience working with wood.

The final step is to sand all the surfaces and round off the corners. We accomplished the rounding with low grit sandpaper and proceeded to 400 grit to achieve a smooth surface. Once the sanding is complete, you are ready for finishing. In most of our project we recommend finishing oil or polyurethane, but the narrow groove is a functional surface and excess material may become a problem. For this reason we recommend using finishing oil which primarily soaks into the wood as opposed to sits on the surface. If you do use a polyurethane, for example, you will probably want to pass through the groove with your bandsaw or scrollsaw blade after the finish has dried to ensure that a clear path is maintained.
