This Weekend's Ornaments

[Paul Heely]

Finished up a few birdhouse ornaments and a couple of the globe ones. Have a few more globes turned and hollowed that are just waiting for finials to be turned.

Tops on the birdhouses are cocobolo, bloodwood or blackwood. The dyed ornament is birdseye maple, dyed with red aniline dye. The other globe ornament is black ash burl, with a maple finial. Comments and critiques always welcome.

Thanks for looking.

Very nice assortment, Paul!! Like the ornaments, too. You and Bernie have been in production mode with the birdhouses.

Looks great. You have a great start. I got about 75 total of bells, ornaments and birdhouses down at the gallery already.

For me this is about that last of them, I think. This is my first year doing the ornaments and I'm not sure what to expect for sales. I also don't really like making dozens of anything. I'll finish up the globe ones I have started and then get my bottle stopper inventory back up.

Thanks everyone.

You guys are machines!! It's hard to be creative when being repetitive...I just sent 10 stoppers to the gallery and I struggled after the first 3

Paul, I really like the birdhouses. Where do you find the small birds??

[Paul Heely]

I ordered the small birds from Craft Supply USA, www.woodturnerscatalog.com. My wife tells me that she thinks the local craft store also sells them.
