Default Cedar Tooth Pick Holder

I carved this small 6 inch cedar branch and hollowed out the inside which tooth picks can be stored in. The little man's head comes off and is held back in by a grove in his neck which when lined up locks in place by a pin I put inside his body. I like haven a tooth pick say while being out and hate how a tooth pick always pokes me from a shirt pocket. The other small carvings that are painted beside him{bear,turkey,man w/red hat,racoon},I will cut off the heads on each making tooth pick holders out of them also. Thought Id share the tooth pick holders for your comments or advise. Thks" TnArtist

New picts show how the mans head locks into the body.

Neat idea! They say that ingenuity is the mother of invention. Put a patent on those little fellas!
