Some more ornaments that I turned last Sunday. I'm having a blast making them, quick and easy, and I think they will look great hanging on the tree.

The first 3 ... The middle is my favorite. The one on the left is the one I posted a while back.

and four more.

All are Box Elder burl and Cocobolo with CA finish.

As promised I am putting together a photo tutorial on these for those that have asked.
Heres the link. http://www.shanewhitlock.com/photo/v/wood/ornaments/tut/
Please take a look at it and let me know if I am missing anything, or if there's something else you would like to see. Just click on the thumbnails for a larger image and a description of what the pics are about.

I still need to turn the finials and will post the pics for those as soon as I get a chance to turn them.

This is what I got done tonight. The globe is turned and the finish is drying. I will edit this post and change the picture when I get it all done.

Comments/Critiques always welcome,

Edited:
I got the finials turned tonight after work so the tutorial is now complete.

Here's the finish ornament.

Very nice tutorial and the pictures really are very well done. Ya done good! [:D]

I like your website too. I really enjoyed looking at the pictures, especially of the lightening strikes. I do believe that lightening is one of the hardest tings to photograph. You seem to have a knack for catching the strikes very well. [:D][:D]
 
Shane - awesome work and a great tutorial! Can you share what rough and finished dimensions you are typically working with here? Appears to be a piece of about 2.5" square stock for the body?
 
Thanks for all the comments everyone. I appreciate them. [:D]

Thanks Rich, Yes the wood is about 2.5 inches square and around 7 inches long. I just chopped it off of a chunk of burl. The blank was probably large enough for two ornaments if I would of cut it in half and glued the halves to some scrap wood.
The globe is around 1 3/4" by 3" tall.
