Thrift Shop Finds

I found this hand carved expandable book holder made in India for $2.00. The book holder can expand from 12 inches to 22 inches depending on your need. The wood was very dry so I washed it with Murphy’s Soap and polished it up with the wood butter. If you missed my previous post with the recipe I highly recommend going back and taking a look, I have found several uses for it this summer.  

I can’t believe the difference; the detail of the carving really came out you can see the difference in the photos above. It is a fun find and will be perfect for my old cook books.
