My wife and I alternate making Christmas ornaments for the grandkids each year. This is my year. At first, I made some "log reindeer" (my father had one in his yard in his later years). They seemed very delicate in ornament scale, so I looked for an alternative. Found something like this on YouTube. Showed it to my wife and she said, "Oh, Plaited hearts, those are very traditional." (She sews and quilts a lot). So off I go. The size of the square is 1.5" x 1.5" and the woods are two of my favorites to match, walnut and hard maple. The YouTube video showed the guy using a cross-cut sled on his bandsaw. I'm wondering why that never occurred to me, I use my crosscut sled on the table saw all the time. So made one of those while the glue on the 'brick' was setting up. I probably have enough for 15 or 20 more that I'll do and go in next year's church Xmas bazaar. I'll post final photos once the finish is applied (I'm trying 3 different ones to see which I like best)
