   Can you be more specific?  Do you want more weight?  Lead shot in a hollow base works well. You cold also attach a piece of steel plate with felt to the bottom of your bookends.

   Rick,

   Yes, steel plate with felt or something of that nature. I remember finding some outfit that sold bookend kits and actually was selling the steel base plates however all they have now are the kits. I usually make bookends from off cuts and the like and give them to friends and family. Sorry about the brevity.

   Roofing supply houses carry sheet lead, that's what I used.I glue the sheet lead to a recess bottom with cyclonate glue ( super glue). Sometimes to a bottom, no recess and felt covering the lead.
