Rasmus - very nice work on everything!

Really like the ornament! Amazing how thin you got the icicle! Looks great! Beautiful woods on all your bottle stoppers!

Checked out your website and found the 'smykker' were something that we don't see over here. Impressed with how thin you managed to turn them! Pretty wood - great design - should have a lot of sales with everything! Very nice!

Love the ornament, beautiful shape and the finials are outstanding.

Rasmus,
The bowl is very nice as are the stoppers, but that ornament is a real knock-out. Excellent work.

[Clara Koss]

Very Nice. Is the ornament hollow? Did you glue the walnut on and then finish?

Steve : thank you, smykker = jewlery and ni i havent seen the scarfholders anywhere else out there ...

skott: Fyn. i live in odense on fyn :-)

And yes they are hollow made by first turning the globe then with it still on the lathe drill a 12mm hole into it. hollow (somewhat) and then drill all the way throug. part off, finials are turned seperate and fitted to the hole witch always seems to end up a little more than 12 mm. a few drops of CA to hold togeter. Rember to drill the 1,5 mm hole to accept the eyethinngy.

The finials are made with a lot of skew and some detailgouge work. But most skew and very little sandig. 320-400 to 1200.

Thank you all for the nice comments..
