A Couple More

Last weekend I spent some time preparing and turning a few more ornaments. Here are two that I was able to finish.



This ormament is made from hickory. I had some issues glueing up the blanks so that everything matched up because they were not all exactly square, so the diamond does not match up exactly. Not bad looking none the less. My wife really likes this one.

This ornament is my favorite one I have made so far. The wood is Ipe, which looks a lot like walnut. The design came out quite well, and the blanks matched up quite well, better than the one above.

Hickory Ornament!

Last weekend I spent some time getting some wood ready to make some more Christmas ornaments. Unfortunately this is the only one I was able to finish all the way. These take quite some time to make, but they are fun.

Another Pen!


Here is the latest pen I have made. Wood is Cocobolo.

CHEESE!!!

My wife grew up with a wood handled cheese slicer. She says that you can not find them anymore, so I made her one. Wood is Bocote.
