Handmade Thumb Book Holder – Oak 🌿
Enjoy comfortable one-handed reading with this handcrafted thumb book holder, designed to hold pages open with ease while you relax, sip a coffee, or read on the go.
Each piece is shaped and finished by hand in my workshop in Tralee, Co. Kerry, using oak hardwood.
 
Please Note
The photographs shown are representative of the design and wood type.
The item you receive will be made from the same species and design, with natural variations in grain and colour making every piece unique.
 
How It Works
Place the pointed edge into the fold of your book and rest your thumb in the centre hole. The holder keeps pages open securely, making reading with one hand simple and comfortable.
 
Dimensions & Fit
● Approx. 80mm x 34mm at widest points
● Thumb hole approx. 24mm
 
Designed to suit most thumb sizes.
 
👉 For best use:
align the back of your nail with the holder
only a small part of your thumb should pass through
 
Never force your thumb if the fit feels tight.
 
The Wood 🌿
Made from oak hardwood, often sourced from offcuts and smaller pieces from other projects, giving each holder its own character.
Because wood is a natural material, grain patterns and colour will vary. No two pieces are ever the same.
 
Finish
Finished with Hampshire Sheen Food & Toy Safe Danish Oil and buffed with wax compounds for a smooth feel.
 
Packaging
Each thumb holder is supplied in a small presentation box with one of my mini cards, making it a simple and thoughtful gift.
