Frank, those are some very nice ornaments, there can be an issue with making them out of solid wood. The solid wood has to be so thin, that the ornaments are very fragile. Whereas, the plywood ones can be thrown up against a wall and not break. I know this from personal experience, I've made both types in the past. What I found that works perfect, is, to glue up my own plywood out veneers. By making them this way, you don't hardly notice the cross grain of the center layer when finished. I have 9 different types of veneer, and I don't paint my ornaments. I like for the different natural veneer colors, to show off their natural colors. I usually finish my ornaments in a gloss finish, I find that the gloss look, looks better on the tree.
