My first try at Christmas oranaments

[penodr]

I was so inspired at all the post about christmas ornaments that I decided to break out of my "turning pens bushing to bushing" habit and try something new. I glued up a bunch of maple and walnut cutoffs and tried my hand at making some ornaments. about half way through the process I decided to take a basic turning class so that I could make something other than just a cove. Anyway here are the ones I made for this years gifts. I think next year I will make some more and try to use seperate wood and turn tenons to fit the tops and use a more traditional style. These ones turned out having an amost oriental look to them. Any the picture is kind of bad but you get the idea.

They all look very good to me. I'm sure those that receive one will be happy.
