Great job. How are you doing the icilcles and finials?? Are you doing a tenon the size of the hole?? What are you gluing them with?? Thanks and thanks for showing.

Nice job. I actually picked up some urchins this summer that I wanted to try this with. Maybe by next Christmas!

John; The finials have a short (~1/16") tenon that is glued in with thick CA. I measured the hole at its widest, cut the tenon that size and then ground the hole to fit the tenon. A small flange hides the joint.

I like the looks of these urchin ornaments... Mentally adding them to the to-do list. Nicely done.

Dennis, some nice work here - and the stand is a very nice addition to the entire display. Wonder if these things take dye?? Might be neat in bright red and green.

Nice work Dennis!

Food coloring works and RIT does work according to Bernie :)

Very cool.

Dennis those are great. Well done.


Yes RIT dye will work as I have used it on several pieces.
