Ribbon Ornaments from plywood

[amazingkevin]

Wow, thanks for all the nice comments.  I was not sure about the plywood, but I think it works on these.

 

Ed asked about burning.  This was not Baltic Birch plywood, but something from Lowes.  I had no problems cutting, except for the voids.

I had to try the tree my way ,unfinished it doesn't have the look i was looking for ,but when i get a chance to make a mess with coatings i'll post it,thanks

I made some from pine several weeks ago and thought of using 3/4" Birch plywood.  There were several voids, but I think the plywood adds to the look.  The patterns are by the late Dirk Boelman and found in CWWC Holiday 2013.  I used FD UR #5 blades and the finish is 50% BLO.  Comments welcome.

Thanks Denny for the pictures and telling how you made them. That helps people like me. I always enjoy looking at your cuttings.

Thanks Don.  You are not too far from Dayton.  Stop by our store, ArtCrafters, and visit for a while.
