Hey, that stuff is wonderful for decorating in itself! You can even dye it for effect.

Sharp tools are such a pleasure, eh? :D

Rasmus I did the same thing with my skew and tormek. I just couldn't believe how fine the curlies were coming off the piece.

Thank You all.... SheWhoMustBeObayed have already stuffed a few boxes with the stuff for decorating... and i plan on keeping it for packing ornaments... have thougt about having a few pices of mapel ready at the christmas shows... that would be a new trick to just turn the packing material when the customer needs it.. I could label the mapel pices Petersen Compact Packing Material Hehehehehe

I promise to post pictures of all the stuff i have made and gotten ready for the christmas show....

Not bad for a beginner (have now been turning a year)

Hey, you could make a wig out of it!!

Don't you just love the cutting edge from a tormek?

I have yet to try an ornament, but will be soon.

Rasmus what is kinda cool is to display your ornaments in a box laying on some of that angel hair. It really makes the ornament stand out.
