We have a man here who makes turned seam rippers. He has ones with a thin ripper part (don't know what that's called) and a thicker ripper part. He gets $10 each. Another wood item is a "presser" for using instead of your fingers...they do save fingernails. :-) And remember that quilters can also use ruler storage, so those could be made out of pretty woods. Mine is out of PA cherry! :-) Good luck on your endeavors.
