Make sure your tools are sharp or else the plywood will shear. Lesson learned from the school of hard knocks trying to squeeze out one more ornament before running over to the grinder.

Thanks Jim….I have more than I need for our tree. I’ve decided to make one for each of my siblings, nephews, nieces and close family friends, so I’ve cranked out about 45 so far.

Thanks Jim. The bottom middle was my wife’s favorite as well.

Ouch! That s sounds like a literal hard knock….
Nice ornaments. I think I like the left middle and bottom middle one the best.

They are all beauties, Mike!

Are they hollowed out?

Thanks Lew! Not entirely. I turn the globes, then bore a 1/2” hole to receive a short tenon on both the cap and finial. The globes are only 1 1/8” diameter

Thanks Tony. For the most part I use regular turning tools but I did turn one old Harbor Freight screwdriver into a mini-skew for some of the fine details.

I like the 1 and 4, with the long finials. There’s a sense of elegance to them that is not quite as prominent on the others. They’re all beautiful though. Love the contrasting woods.

Thanks Todd! I’m kind of partial to those myself.

They’re all beautiful but I think I like the bottom middle the best. I like the circles on the sphere.

Thanks Tazmon.
That was made with a 3/4” walnut square shape wrapped with 1/4” maple veneer.
