Funky Pencil Holder

I decided to make this pencil holder for my dad for Christmas.  It's a great idea to give to someone to decorate their office.

Unfortunately, I made this in my grandpa’s workshop and he already had half of it made, so just bare with me on this post, and yes, I do realize that not all of you will be able to do this project.  Oh!  And I don't have many pictures...

This is hard to rate, since I only did half of it, so I'm not even gonna try!

Materials:

•A weird shaped piece of wood (I think my grandpa took a piece of apple (yes, apple!) wood and used a sander to make it so funky.)
•A drill and drill bit around the size of a pencil (I honestly don't remember the size I used.  See?  Isn't this such a helpful tutorial?!)
•Clear finish
•A couple pencils

Drill about five holes on your wood, sticking out at funky places.
Put finish on.
Stuck a few pencils in and give it as a gift.

So maybe this wasn't the most informative post, but hopefully it at least gave you some inspiration!
