Ornaments for Christmas

[RogerGarrett]

Just thought I would share a small sampling of what is made for Christmas (or year round) ornaments this year.

Woods used in all nine: Holly finials, cocobolo, spalted maple, amboyna burl, walnut burl, redheart finials, spalted pine, rosewood finials, cherry, and apple.

Best,
Roger Garrett

Roger,

You did a very nice job on these and don't think they will last long when you go to sell them. Either that or people will be happy when they get their gift.

Congratulations Roger on your creative Ornamental Birdhouses. They are very well done. I love to make ornamental bird houses as well and was wondering why you didn't take the time to turn an attractive perch to go with you very elequent houses?

Thank you for your kind comments. I have a pdf file somewhere that explains everything in a tutorial - along with pictures. Seems to me I posted it on here a couple of years back - I can look.

To answer Pat's question - I have turned a few perches - and they look better - especially when making them from an exotic wood such as ebony or cocobolo. However, when I'm making 80-100 of these at a time, perches become pretty time-consuming - especially considering the work in the finials. Probably not a very good excuse!:biggrin:

Best,
Roger

Roger, very nice job ,I would like to know how you did them Thanks Bill

 

[Dan26]

Very cool!

 

[Rmartin]

Sweet!!

 

[areaman]

nice job! I did a bunch just for family and friends and agree, doing the perches would be very time consuming. None of mine are the same, and by the time I got them done I was tired of them. Good job, they look great and Im sure will go fast as said before.
