Get a Piece of Scrap. I Used a 2x4 I Had Kicking Around the Shop.


Mark out the width you want your burnisher and 1/2 inch marks where your drill holes will go.
Drill


i used 5 different bits and a drill press to ensure my holes where straight through the board. you could use a hand drill if that's all you have.
Rip It


i cut down the center (actually to the off cut side off my line) of the holes on the table saw.
then i trimmed off a bit of the width to for my hand nicer.

Sand Sand Sand!



i rounded all of my edges and sanded down my handle to a near point to use as a creaser.
then i sanded everything nice and smooth with the palm sander, and sand paper.

you could throw some varnish or some finish coat on it if you'd like. other than that... your done!
