Angel ornament

Gerald,

Using crepe myrtle is not something I would have thought of using.  I always figured that it is a softer wood, but it has a beautiful color and you did a great job.  One thing I would do differently is to turn a piece to fit up the bottom of the angel bottom to support the wood when you bore the holes for the wings.  That would be to support the outer portion of the body.  No charge!  :huh:

Thanks Steve. That little jig does the support. In addition the hollow does not go all the way up to the drilled hole and therefore the upper part and head is supported in the jig. Have done about 50 this way and no casualties yet.
