These made it to the tree before I could get pictures. The first is walnut and maple, and the second is maple and ebonized maple. Rattle can laquer finish.

Thanks for looking,
Steve

Very nice, I especially like the way you treated the globe part. Was that pierced with an air tool?

Steve,

First I used a drill press and drilled randomly spaced holes. Then use a small burr with a flex shafted rotary tools, finished by using a diamond rotary bit to clean up the holes.

Nice ornaments! Someday I would like to get the nerve to start drilling holes in some hollow forms.
thanks for sharing.

You just have to take the plunge! (pun intended)

I like those. I have not done any piercing but you may have inspired me to start - small!
