...temporary stixs but sticks none the less.:D
Turned these a few days ago but had trouble with the paint. I had some rattle can automotive white that I painted over top of some other "old" white that I was trying to use up and the entire finish cracked up on me so I had to sand it off and do it again. I will be putting some red ribbon around their necks before displaying them.

Stats:
Material - poplar
Height = about 6"
Diameter = about 2.5"
Finish = white is rattle can general purpose, Black is acrylic brush-on.

I think those look great. They should look good around the house or will make nice gifts.

They look good, they have a good shine. I will say the one on the right has a somewhat evil look to him.

I thought so too until I enlarged the photo, then not so much. Good job on the Frosties, maybe call the one on the right Frosted Flake!

Look great! could hang them as ornaments, too. You turners give me "spinny envy".

Those are cute, nicely done and I'll bet fun to make..other than the strip and repaint.

Those are great. A brass screw eye in the hat and they might make an ornament!

I would probably have to core drill them to lighten them up as ornaments, they are pretty heavy being solid but it is a good idea.
