Turned Creations

This Christmas ornament is made with Box Elder being used for the 2 1/4″ diameter globe, a True Mahogany used for the Finial and Icicle. The finial is 2 1/2″ long and the Icicle is 4″ long.
To hang the ornament I drilled a 1/16″ hole through the finial and threaded in a gold wire reinforced string to create a loop. That seemed a little more natural to me that putting in a screw-eye.
The finish is wipe-on polyurethane.
The piece will be featured in the December/January issue of Canadian Woodworking magazine that comes out in November, 2009.
