I got a dozen of these nice and very reasonably priced brass stands from Pat Harris in the mail day before yesterday and just now got around to trying them out. These are the largest of the three sizes he has available.
I turned the bases for them and tried out my texturing tool to get a little more practice with it. One thing I found out is that texturing lends itself better to lighter colored woods . Small bases like this are good to use up scraps of wood and only take about ten minutes to make so I just used some walnut, purple-heart and maple from the scrap box.
The birdhouse ornaments are the last three I have left over from my last batch of them I made a while ago. I have a feeling they might sell better singly on these stands than on my rotating carousel stand that holds a bunch of them.
