The wood is a little less than a quarter inch. The magnets are 1 inch in diameter. The smaller the magnet, the closer it needs to be to the surface of the board.

Really great looking work so far y'all. My next undertaking (the one in the photo is not mine):

It's a saya for the knives I make. I plan on sinking a magnet in the end of it so that it pulls the knife into it.
A different kind of woodworking. Pink ivory handle on a large petty knife. The blade is AEB-L stainless razor steel, mirror polished on the edge blended into the satin finish.
If you ever work with pink ivory, go slow. It burns easily. I had to crank the KMG all the way down.

Some African black wood. Not sure what I'm going to do with it but man this is fun. Turned down to a real nice finish.
