Name Ornaments by S. Good

[FrankEV]

Bought 20 of Steves Name Onament PATTERNs to CUT AND give out to family and friends.  Cut twenty by stack cutting 5 at a time from scrap 5/32" solid core Maple and Birch ply.  While in stack, only cut the basic pattern leaving the enclosed name area uncut.  Stack cut only two of the nativity ornament.  After all were cut, went back and individually added the pattern for each name.

Funny thing is I did cut 20, but as you can see in the pic, there is only 19. NOW 20.  Looked everywhere and can not find number 20...have no idea wher I put it FOUND HIM, MUST HAVE JUMPED INTO MY SCRAP PILE...they say "memory is the second thnig that goes when you get old" and I can't even remember what the first thing is!  I guess number 20, "Gregory" won't be getting his.   HE DID NOT MELT AWAY!!!

Front and back painted white with rattle can spray paint.  Added colors in Artist Acrylics and coated all with clear gloss Polyurethane.  Not my best work and the paint work is sloppy....hopefully they will be hung deep iwithin the branches of their Christmas trees. 

 

Enjoy.  You are welcome to comment but I'll be my own critic for these.

EDITED TO INCLUDE GREGORY #20

And, BTW, now I have to order, cut and paint 10 more....me bad, forgot my ladies family!!

Nice job, Frank. I'm sure the family will be most appreciative. By the way, did you find a wet spot on the floor after you were finished cutting? Maybe "Gregory" melted!

Poor old Gregory....................
They look terrific.  Everyone will appreciate them.  Except Gregory of course.

S. Good offers on his site the option of purchasing at $1 each (min 5) the patterns for three different ornaments. You reply to him with a list of names/ornament and he sends you back the patterns with the names included for each ornament. He sends you an invoice with his returned patterns.  No upfront payment required.

The offer was/is in his regular daily emai I get.  You can sign up for that email.
