Ornament ball is wood of unknown origin with Black Walnut finials. Size: 2" w. x 6 1/2" h. Ornament globe is about 1/8" thick for ease of piercing. I kept the piercing to the center of the globe because I like the contrast of the smooth surface directly connected to the piercing...
7.25" by 3". Started out as a multi-axes maple globe that was so blah I almost tossed it. After the final flip of the axis there was not enough meat left to get rid of the marks from the head/tail stocks so I made them a tad deeper and epoxied the buttons in after covering the globe...

More birdie ornaments. Each is 2" high. Bodies are cherry, and maple. Tops and perches are Walnut. The perches were turned to 3/16" x 1". Finished with Seal-A-Cell.
These started out as ring boxes but now people buy them for baby's first ornament or just to put little gifts in. They're kinda hard to turn because the lid(bottom) fits inside the bell so you can't chuck it the way you would a regular box. Figured Maple and Cocobolo finish with Lacquer and wax.
Star and Base both turned from Mahogany. 12" tall. 6" wide. Finished with walnut oil. Base is heavily undercut to get the total weight under 4 ounces.
These have cherry bodies, turned 4 times. The finials and icicles are walnut and ash. They are about 8 inches long.

By Larry Sefton & Joan Kelly: Don't miss the embellished, spiral finial inside the pierced sphere! Weight is 17 grams (.6 ounce) and dimensions are 1-1/2" (diameter) by 6-1/2". Holly, Black Walnut, & Maple.
