Maple and Walnut Acorn Needle Minder
Rare-earth magnets are strong, permanent magnets made from alloys of rare earth elements. Rare-earth magnets are substantially stronger than ferrite or alnico magnets, so you'll need to keep this away from your credit cards or pacemaker.
The 2 3/4 inch base was crafted from walnut, and cork dots on the back protect your furniture from scratches.
