2007 Holiday Ornament Exchange trade list

[Larry Marley]

... Had a couple of birds looking at it already

That was funny!

[Bob Hallowell]

This is the ornament I am sending Paul Heely.

It is afzelia burl with blackwood. The Pic didn't turn out good and it looks better in person. The picture makes it look like the curves aren't smooth but they are.

Hope you like it Paul,
Bob

[Curt Fuller]

Well heres mine for Curt, took a bit longer because the LOML had a list for me to do over the weekend but managed to get it done today.

The globe is from Regal Yew and the finials/icikle are ancient bog oak, measures 2" x 6 1/2".

Wow John, that's a beauty! And Regal Yew and Ancient Bog Oak, there's two woods you won't find kicking around in Utah!

[Bill Noce]

Recieved my ornament today from Chris Rolke, very nice but I got to hold it for about a minute it is now in my wife's collection....lol. She loved the bird said the bird looks better then the ones I use from Pat Catan's. Where do you find birds like that Chris? Thanks again and my wife thanks you. Bill

[Jon Lanier]

You all have some great looking ornaments! And your done! I've got to get going on this or it's going to become a Ground Hog Day's ornament.

HI Curt, glad you like the look of it.

I thought I would make it from something different, there is a bit of a story and history attached to the wood I used, all will be explained in a letter that is packed with the ornament. It will be in the post tomorrow.

Well, having not turned anything for quite awhile I tried a simple ornament - an icicle.

It's Black Walnut and a little over 9" long. Having produced this stylized, pointy stick I was greatly relieved to get matched up with Raymond Overman, a connoisseur of sharp, pointy sticks!

It only took three tries

Thanks David. I've finally gotten out from under Thanksgiving and hope to get yours to you soon. I've got an icicle idea that I think will be a lot of fun.

[Brian Brown]

I forgot Dave Bonde's display stand. Sorry!

Not at all Brian your ornament looks fantastic! I can't wait to see it in person.

PS - I am sending all my projects to you to photograph. I usually use the excuse "it looks better than the photo" cant use it this time
Thanks for taking the pictures. and for a great ornament
Dave

[Chris Rolke]

got mine from Bill Noce

absolutely beautiful

in fact it made me get up off my butt and do some turning tonight


thanks

[Larry Marley]

Well Bill Stevener,
I finally got your ornament in the mail!
I received yours when I returned home from Thanksgiving in Oregon and it is Beautiful!!!
Even better than the picture.
Thanks so much for putting that kind of effort into this exchange.

Larry

[Pete Jordan]

Thank you Curt!

I received your ornament today and it is wonderful!

I do have a question though. Did Utah secede from the union again? The package said it went through customs!

[Bill Wyko]

Does anyone know Jon McCoy? I've tried to PM him and e-mail him and I haven't got a response. He's only posted 7 times so I wanted to be sure he's still around. I have his ornament ready to ship.
