MrRick Posted October 29 Report Posted October 29 Christmas is coming soon!! I made this with a spokeshave. I originally made a much longer one to set up on the fireplace mantle but can be put anywhere. And any size with any arrangement. Be creative! Cheers! MrRick Gunny, lew, aaronc and 1 other 4 Quote
Grandpadave52 Posted October 30 Report Posted October 30 Very cool Rick. Do you apply any finish to these? Store them in a box or plastic container between seasons? lew and Gunny 2 Quote
MrRick Posted October 30 Author Report Posted October 30 (edited) Thanks @Grandpadave52 There's no finish at all on them! I store them in a separate cardboard box. If they get broken no big deal. They're made of scrap normally destined for recycling. I just crank out more. Edited October 30 by MrRick lew, Grandpadave52 and Gunny 2 1 Quote

MrRick Posted October 30 Author Report Posted October 30 Good on ya Gunny! Why wait? The longer you put off something you want to do, the more time there is for something preventing you from doing it. Never do for tomorrow what you can do today. Grandpadave52, Gerald, lew and 1 other 4 Quote
