    Not your average ornament

    I'm still around, not posting much lately, busy with work and family and turning.

    Our club holiday party is 12 days away and we always have an ornament exchange. I saw an article by (I think) Bob Rosand on quick Multi Axis trees and decided to put a little twist to it. I wanted to hollow it to reduce the weight. It took a couple of tries to get it right and not to break it in half but I finally succeeded tonight.

    Box Elder, Approx 1 1/4 wide X 3" tall. Hollowed, turned on 3 axes, and a separate bottom piece. The "trunk" on the base piece was drilled out to further reduce the overall weight.

    Please excuse the poor cell phone photos.

    Thanks for looking
    Jason

    Very cool!

    Jason,

    I like the modification you've made to the design of the ornament. That's a very cool idea!
