Pen stand into book holder

The yellow teak pen stand cum visiting card holder [see slits] was a gift from a colleague many years ago.  After a while these things become useless.  But I found further use for this.  I converted it into a book stand also.  It can hold small booklets and letters.  I had two square rosewood pieces that matched the width of the stand.  They were from my father's 1930 coin box, broken and not survived time.  I drilled four holes to fix the bent stiff wire and then fastened these rosewood pieces at both ends. Lo, the holder was ready for better use.
