Hi Gang,

 

Finally got around to turning a few ornaments for this season.  Bodies are either Ambrosia Maple, or Walnut, the finials are Holly.  I weighed 2 of the ornaments, came in at a whopping 1 1/2 oz.  Thanks for looking.

Thanks for all the kind comments gang.  Wtn, yes they are hollow body ornaments.  I hollow out to around 1/8" wall thickness.  I weighed a couple of these on a scale and they came in at 1 1/2 oz.  We decorate our tree with ones like these every year.  By far, these are my most farorite thing to come off the lathe.  Took quite a while to develop my technique, now I rarely ruin one, where when I started, I was lucky to get one complete out of 4.

Htn,

 

Yes I do have a youtube chan.  but, I'm not much of a video maker.  Much better turner and instructor than a videographer.  But I do have 4 vids on there,  Bowl Turning 101 parts one and two.  and Making a screw chuck, parts one and two.

 

You are welcome to watch them if you'd like.  And thanks much again for the nice comments.
