HOW TO: Flag Lover's Bookend

Whether you need a nice gift or just need something to help keep your bookshelf in order, this was made for you!
What you need:
  A 1"x4" (We will use an 8" length)
  Scrollsaw
  Woodburning tool
  Carbon paper
  Stylus or pen for initially tracing the design onto the wood
  Sandpaper
  Clamp 
  Wood glue

Step 1: Cutting the 1"x4" Board

Cut your 8" length of wood into two pieces; one will be 3-1/2" long and the other 4-1/2" long.  Sand both pieces until very smooth.  If you are thorough in your sanding, the end product will be much more pleasing.
