September 23, 20169 yr Popular Post First batch of ornaments for the year. Mostly maple, cherry, and walnut, there are a couple sycamore globes. There is one sea urchin ornament, that one has ebony finials. We spent a few days on Jacksonville beach with my wife's brother and his wife. Two of our best friends in the world. Picked some sea urchins and this ornament will go to them as a remembrance. Most of these are dyed "inside out". A couple local gift shops sell a few of these and those are the most popular. To me, it's hard beat just plain wood grain. Thanks for looking! Steve Edited September 23, 20169 yr by Steve Krumanaker n/a
September 23, 20169 yr As always Steve...SPECTACULAR! Those could hang 365d/y as ornamentation and not just at Christmas...off course you would have to keep them dusted. Thanks for sharing. Edit add: BTW...would be great pics in the Gallery! Edited September 23, 20169 yr by Grandpadave52
September 23, 20169 yr Awesome turnings. especially love the urchin one.. That is a spectacular display stand, too!
September 24, 20169 yr As usual Great job Steve. I know you have shown some hollowing tools you made. Do you use carbide or HSS to hollow these?

Gerald, the hollowing tools I showed are the ones I use for ornaments and they are carbide insert tools. 8mm round if I remember correctly, may be 10, not sure. At any rate I got them from eddiecastelin.com. I made those tools probably three years ago and have yet to rotate the inserts. Steve

It happens I did video on making one if you're interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRHXmuVY_5s Steve
