Pencil Holder
May 31, 2010
Just thought I would make a pencil holder out of a paper coffee cup. The base is Ash and the cup and base are covered in polymer resin so it will last awhile. I let the resin drip down the side to make it have a more interesting wet look

Where can I find the plans for this? hahaha :-)
Looks great, and you've taken recycling to a whole new level.
I particularly like the asymmetrical aspect. Setting the cup slight off center from the base was brilliant! I can't wait to see more of your work!
good i Tim!
I tried a very similar project once, though being Canadian it was a Tim's cup. Instead of the extravagance of a wooden base I just kept it half full of coffee (the bottom half) for stability. I gave up on it when scraping the mold off the pencils became an inconvenience.
Is the cup glued or screwed to the base?
Excellent use of curvilinear form and gravitational selectivity to hold your carbon-centered sharp-pointy sticks! The engineered-wood shaped in a section of a cone shows dynamic geometry, especially with such thin material. I particularly like the artistic finish with its waterfall nature. That is the kind of advanced zen-like craftsmanship to which I aspire.
TTo CW ownes, The cup is just glued to the base with the resone. Thanks Bill
