I started gluing some pieces for an ornament. I selected a piece that looked like it had good grain and few scraps. It didn't glue up as I intended. Off center just a tad. I turned it and found worm holes and bad sections of grain. Removed, reglued. One of the scrap pieces came apart. Reglue, restart. Why didn't I just quit and start new? I like a challenge and this was one. I got it to where I felt I should quit, but NO, do just a little more. WRONG thing to do. I just set it down and left it for a couple of hours. When I returned my feeble mind had found a solution, if it didn't fly apart again. Here it is, slightly off center and after I had to remove the finish and redo.

How many times have I done that!!

 

It really looks good to me.

Can't see a thing wrong with it at all. It's beautiful.

I agree Gene. It looks really nice.

Looks good from here!

Looks good here in Mississippi too. I wonder what an ornament in the tiger striped wood only would look like. Oh by the way do you need my address

 

Doesn't look off center from the Western side of Indiana.

PM me for my USPS address. No need to wrap it for Christmas; I've already seen it now.

Ron, I kinda get like that sometimes, I refer to it as “getting my Irish up” In my younger days it was sometimes not on positive endeavors, but I have aged since then (I almost said matured, but that would make my wife laugh out loud ). It looks beautiful, and flawless to me.

Off center?  Looks great to me, but then I cannot hang a picture without a level...

I'd proudly hang all of your offset ornaments. If you wan't me to, I'll PM my address. 

That would sure be neat to have a plumb bob like that ornament.
