A lady that I've made some ornaments for in the past brought me a cedar log she salvaged from a tree that was in the yard of the house she grew up in. They knocked the house down a few years ago so it had been cut for several years and was pretty cracked up. She asked if I would make her some bell ornaments to give to all her brothers and sisters for Christmas. I said sure, how many. She has 12 brothers and sisters!:eek: Anyway, here are a few of the ornaments...and a picture of all 12 hanging on the light.

Nicely done. Do you turn them like goblets with a hollow bell or between centers?

Nicely done Curt! I'm sure those will be family heirlooms that this generation will appreciate and pass on.

Thanks everyone!

Yup, they're just a goblet without a base turned with wood held in my Talon chuck.


I like what you did with the wires as well.

Ron the boingy wire hooks are actually my wife's doing. I like how they look too.
