November 2, 20223 yr Popular Post Sometimes when I'm doing a turning there will be a piece left in the chuck that's big enough to get something out of. Often, I'll make an ornament body, or a finial or roof. Scavenged through the pieces this morning and had enough to cabbage together four birdhouse ornaments. I also had a request for a couple Ashley Harwood style ornament stands so I did those up too. The wood on both stands is walnut, the darker one has red aniline dye on it.

As a bonus, they are really pretty easy to do. The downside is, for something that ends up being about 2" diameter by about 2.5" tall they take a fairly large piece of wood for the blank. 3.75"X3.75"X2". Still, it's a great design and she deserves all the credit for it.
