Christmas ornaments.

Post by eveled »

Here is one of the Christmas Ornaments my Dad made. Notice there is not much detail. He’d crank these out in minutes. He was capable of very lifelike carvings with every minute derail. But these were in a different style more cartoonish. I’d like to see some of your whittled Ornaments.

My Dad would carve my Mom would paint. Then he’d give them away.

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!

That's cool! I don't have any carved ornaments but do have some favorites.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Amazing, lots of times when someone does fine work like the cross they can't cross over to the fun stuff like the ornaments. But he hit it out of the park. I look forward to seeing more. ::nod:: ::nod:: ::handshake::

I have made a lot of these turned ornament bird houses. Can be hung on the Christmas tree, but don't have to be put away with the tree. Lots of different woods available for these in this area.
