Beautiful work. You inspired me to start an annual tradition of a new ornament every Christmas. I will glue the finial with the smallest drop of my weakest glue so I can easily replace it when the dog knocks over the tree or it inevitably breaks in storage.
Real nice Billy. That is really a pretty wood and I like the shape. Must be the time of year. A few days ago I turned 2 Christmas items. Next weeks will be one of them. Not wanting to give away what they are you will just have to wait and see 🎄 Take care buddy! Gary
Sweet! Christmas project! Love the idea of hollowing the halves. Been thinking of trying that very technique once I get past my Christmas gift orders !
Good job Billy! Looks good! 👍🇺🇸 I finally got out in the shop today worked on Sycamore bowl. Got results from my MRI. Ends up I got a cyst on my spinal cord between 4-5 lumbar. Type cyst is usually 95% benign, but it’s going to give me good and bad days. Go see a specialist Wednesday for options. Have a great Holiday Season my friend..
Thanks, Cort! I hope they get you fixed up! I have permanent damage to my sciatic nerve (between L4 & 5) so I understand fully. All the best this holiday season to you and yours, my friend! Billy
really nice ornament billy! ive GOT to try makin some of those! i know....its too late really for Christmas this year. but, im not on a time schedule! well done bud!
Sorry, I can't post a picture on the comments, but it measures 1/8" at the thinnest part. But I've made them smaller... about 1/16". But the wood has to be a tight straight grain for that.
Thank you, Don! I don't use brass eyelets. I make my own using nichrome wire. I show you how in this video: ua-cam.com/video/ik9O7Zxf8Mk/v-deo.html Billy
This video was instructive but hard to watch. I was distracted by the white stain on his shirt. It looked like a bird had relieved itself on his shirt. But he did a good job turning the ornament.

I’m not a Christmas person but I enjoyed how you made it. Not a lover of the music either but thanks for sharing. Keep um coming.
Thank you, Wayne. I quit using music a few months back, but I just couldn't help myself with this one.

Thanks, Dave! I really appreciate it!
Billy
Billy its absolutely beautiful .. honestly love it ! ❤❤ the finial? Is that how you spell it ? Lol its soooo intricate and just makes the piece xxx
Thank you so much, Claire! Yes, that is the correct spelling. And thanks for watching!
Billy
Can you put that tape measure on the smallest part of the finial I'm curious how small you guys can make them
Sorry, I can't post a picture on the comments, but it measures 1/8" at the thinnest part. But I've made them smaller... about 1/16". But the wood has to be a tight straight grain for that.
That's beautiful. I have to try that. What kind of dye do you use? I've been looking for something that colors without hiding the grain.
Thank you, Suzette! It's FolkArt Ultra. I got it from Hobby Lobby, but it's also available on Amazon. amzn.to/2DUN0Gl
Billy
Very nice. What is your source for the brass screwed in eyelets?
Thank you, Don! I don't use brass eyelets. I make my own using nichrome wire. I show you how in this video: ua-cam.com/video/ik9O7Zxf8Mk/v-deo.html
Billy
@@TheMessyStudio Thanks Billy. Looks like a good idea.
hi Billy, new subscriber. Where'd you find th ChinesTallow. I would like to try some of it. thanks JC
Thank you, Liz! A friend has two tress and they often drop limbs in her yard. When they do she calls me.
Billy
This video was instructive but hard to watch. I was distracted by the white stain on his shirt. It looked like a bird had relieved itself on his shirt. But he did a good job turning the ornament.
Thank you, Randall! If I only turned in clean shirts, I'd never have any. LOL
