Christmas ornaments

[dgman]

Well here's what I have been working on the past couple of weekends. About 100 ornaments. Maple, Walnut and cherry, all 3/16" hardwoods ready for my first show of the season in two weeks.

I stack cut three at a time. I finish them like I do every scroll saw project. Soak in a 50/50 mix of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. I shake them off the wipe off the excess oil with clean shop paper towels. In the weather we have had here, the are dry in 24 hours. I then topcoat with Deft semigloss spray lacquer. I then buff them with a sheet of brown paper grocery bag.

The small ones are $3 or two for $5 and the larger ones a$6 or two for $10. I have them displayed on small artificial Chritmas trees. I really don't make much on them, but they attract the customer to see the rest of my goodies.
