I have nothing to add to help with your questions but those are adorable little pouches. I could see those selling well when you are happy with them.

Thank you battlemonkey. Hope to get em looking a bit better than selling em would be great.

I dug through my tools and found the screwdriver interlacing markers.

One makes a square edged lace  the other makes a slightly wider round top lace;

Just a rough drag thru some leather. I don't know if you can make it out the round top shape is to the top of the picture. Proper back-grounding would tidy the lines as well.

And finally; if you're not totally set on using wood for your rune beads ~~ I use 'granite' polymer clay. Polymer clay is also known as FIMO and Sculpey. I use the Tandy Rune letters to impress the letter then I fill the grove with liquid polymer clay mixed with gold paint and gold glitter. The two top beads are FIMO straight from the packet, for the two lower I added white polymer clay to lighten them a bit. I make these for games as well as for necklace beads. They have been mistaken for real granite pebbles.

A block of polymer clay is 2 ounces (58g) and I get between 14 and 18 beads from a block

They look good fredk. Thank you for taking the time to find them. I may already have a few screwdriver tips like the square one. I didn't know Tandy do rune stamps, definitely be something in the future shopping list. I enjoy making the wood runes but having a mixture or materials is a good idea. I have made a set from bone but will not be doing that again any time soon. Terrible, smelly, dusty stuff to work with.
