Compound Ornament and Reindeer

[Sycamore67]

I cut the compound ornament from Alder and the miniature Reindeer from Maple.  The compound cut reindeer is about 1/2" tall and held inside the ornament with a small spot of epoxy glue.

Very nicely done.  I like that the reindeer is inside the ornament.  Thanks for sharing this with us.

I really like that.  Any pattern forthcoming?

I have to look where I got the ornament pattern.  It was either from the scroll saw magazine or one I bought online.  In either case, they are copyrighted material and I can not post them. 

The reindeer is the standard compound cut reindeer that appears in many places.  I did greatly reduce it and play with the image to sharpen as much as possible.  It is about 1/2" tall.  I previously posted about how I made the mini-reindeer in a post called "Last of the Mini".

The ornament looks like a Sue Mey pattern.

What a neat idea!  I think it was in last year's winter SSWM

That would be my winner for the "Best Ornament of the Year" award.  NICE!

That looks great I love the idea of the reindeer inside. I will have to give that a try. I have a lot of the compound ornament patterns that I got fromSue. I think anyone of them would work with that type of opening.

I think that you could lots of different things inside such as a star, cross, Christmas tree and others.  I just had the miniature reindeer and looking for a use.  You would not need to compound cut it either.  The miniature reindeer are a challenge for me.  

Using a contrasting wood seems to work well.

One of a kind!...Well done !

[Dave Monk]

Wow! That came out great. That reindeer had to be tough to cut as small as it is.

Larry, it's a gorgeous ornament, it would be a bit tricky cutting the reindeer that small.
