hawkeye10 Posted December 17, 2016 Report Posted December 17, 2016 I am so glad to be through making Christmas gifts. It's all the hand painting that gets old fast but I know it has to be done. I made 30 of these walnut crosses. They are finished with Watco Danish oil "natural" and are 3/16" thick. I also stack cut them two at a time. I made the crosses and my niece added the beads and string. The ladies in the family like home made Christmas ornaments so I made these for this year. Not scroll saw work but I made two of these for a couple of the young boys in the family. I also made some cutting boards and a rack for hanging bracelets and necklaces on.

Lucky2 Posted December 18, 2016 Report Posted December 18, 2016 Don, that's a lot of cutting, I really like the painted ornaments. And the crosses are very nice looking, I just don't know if I would want to cut that many. Len Quote

Good for you i'm way behind on my 3 dozen 12 days of Christmas ornaments to be painted Quote
Phantom Scroller Posted December 18, 2016 Report Posted December 18, 2016 Do the ladies in the UK like ear rings that big? They may like them here I don't know. I've seen them up to 2-3 inches in length hanging from there ears very eye catching. Roly Quote

meflick Posted December 18, 2016 Report Posted December 18, 2016 Excellent work already. I had great ambitions to make some christmas gifts and ornaments. Looks like I will need to start in January to get them done for next year perhaps. Doesn't look like this year is going to. Life is getting in the way I am afraid. I am sure your recipients will love all the work you did. Thanks for sharing your photos. Quote
