Made some of these last year and had an order for two this year. Sold them for $25.00 each. The girl was buying one for her sister and niece and said they were the most beautiful ornaments she has seen. I thought she should have one so I gave her one as a gift. I made one and gave her that one and the two I had here for me. I just made these two to replace mine.

Got the angel ornaments done. There is 30 of them. Started with an inch and a half square blank, turned it round and measured two inches for the body and three quarters inch for the head. Drilled a 5/8" hole in the bottom 3/4" deep and hollowed it out some to take some weight off. Turned the body. Shaped the head and cut the ornament free. Turned it around and put it in the chuck to sand the top of the head. For the wings I put another same size blank in and rounded it off and cupped the end. Also measured off for the width needed. Shaped the front of the wings and left a 3/16" stud to glue into a hole in the body. Parted it off and set up the drill press to drill a hole on each side of the stud and took them to the scroll saw and cut a "V" for the wings. I used halos and caps purchased at the craft store glued together with Goop glue and held them on with a small brass eye and attached a hook to hang them with. Put the finish on all done.
