Christmas in July

[splinter99]

I took a few vacation days last week and spent a little time in the shop making Christmas ornaments..I got about 12 of these done and a disply stand for them also
The body and the roof are both hollow. These are a fun little project

The first one is cherry and walnut, the second is osage orange and walnut

comments welcomed. thanks for looking

Great looking stuff.... where did yor get the little birds???? or did you turn them too?

 

[hilltopper46]

Very nice. I've done some of these but never at the rate of 12 in a couple days - especially with hollow tops. I'd like to know your procedure.

Nice Harlold, I love making those ornaments for my grandchildren. Lord knows, there is always plenty of wood scap around to make them with! :tongue:. Ever try using a Wagner texturing tool for the bird house roof tops? They make really nice acorn type tops. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the miniture birds?

Looks good. I should get to work and make a few for the Christmas craft sale season.

I get my birds at Michaels.

Thanks folks..the little birds came from a craft store called pat catans..they are 3 for $1.49. They seem to have just about any thing like that you would ever need, plus they sell the large bottles of pearl x pigments seperately and stock a huge selection of colors
